Voices from Hudson Bay: Cree Stories from York Factory, Second Edition

Edited by Flora Beardy and Robert J. Coutts

Perceptions of Cree life have been shaped largely by non-Native accounts that offered limited views of Indigenous history and recorded little beyond the social and economic interaction that was part of life in the fur trade. The stories in this collection provide Cree perspectives on northern life and history, and represent a legacy bequeathed to a younger generation of Indigenous people. This second edition includes updates to the original text and a new preface. Read more >
