Indians of Canada tracing roots to Athabasca Basin
Special correspondence from Winnepeg surveys Canada West tribes from Algonquin groups to Cree and Ojibway, detailing migration legends, mound burials along Rainy River, totem kinship rules, whisky suppression, and impacts of Hudson Bay and Northwest Company rivalries. It notes Metis rebellion and Louis Riel, and concludes Canadian Indian policy fostered long peace, though conflicts persisted.
