“Opposition on the Coast”: The Hudson’s Bay Company, American Coasters, the Russian-American Company, and Native Traders on the Northwest Coast, 1825-1846
Edited by James R. Gibson
As politics in Eastern Canada became more contentious, the Hudson’s Bay Company traders and trappers forged relationships with many groups of Indigenous peoples along what would eventually be known as Canada’s Pacific coast. Its network of trading posts formed the nodes of a growing business operation in many areas of Western Canada and the United States.
This volume brings together the key documents that bear witness to that evolving relationship at a critical juncture in both the HBC’s history and that of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Coast. James R. Gibson describes and analyzes the people and events in a period that marked an important turning point in Settler-Indigenous relations.
