On November 17th, Arthur Ray will be launching his book, Telling It to the Judge: Taking Native History to Court at the Hudson's Bay Company Archives, a division of the Archives of Manitoba.
On November 19th, Ray will also be speaking at McNally Robinson.
Arthur Ray's extensive knowledge in the history of the fur trade and Native economic history brought him into the courts as an expert witness in the mid-1980s. For over twenty-five years he has been a part of landmark litigation concerning treaty rights, Aboriginal title, and Métis rights. In Telling It to the Judge, Ray recalls lengthy courtroom battles over lines of evidence, historical interpretation, and philosophies of history, reflecting on the problems inherent in teaching history in the adversarial courtroom setting.

"In massive trials such as Delgamuukw and Victor Buffalo, trial judges are inundated with a wide range of ethnohistorical evidence. Although Delgamuukw is commonly remembered as a case in which oral and written histories clashed, in fact, Hudson’s Bay Company records reinforced what the elders said about their traditional tenure scheme." – Excerpted from Telling It to the Judge
