Heather Devine is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Calgary and is a researcher in various fields, including Canadian Native history, Western Canadian ethnic history, museum and archival studies, and public history.
A strong piece of academic scholarship that proposes an innovative
and highly multidisciplinary approach. From a useful glossary of
terms to detailed appendices and notes, this book provides insights
for students and teachers alike and will undoubtedly prompt a
reassessment of our historical understanding of the fur trade,
Aboriginals, and the West. --Robert Engelbert, Histoire sociale /
Social History
Devine has placed herself a leader in the new discipline of
prospography . . . [she] is the first academic to come close to
describing why the Métis Nation arose on the Northern Great Plains.
--Frits Pannekoek, Great Plains Quarterly
