Negotiations and Renegotiations of Space and Resource Use in Pacific Northwest Aboriginal History

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

This panel focuses on the various ways that Aboriginal people negotiated (and continue to negotiate) the complex liminal spaces that developed between settler and indigenous societies, with a specific focus on how the resources within these spaces are conceptualized and used. Centered in broader Pacific Northwest, this panel also affords comparisons between Aboriginal peoples' resistance to, and navigation of, U.S. and Canadian colonialism. Keith Carlson will serve as chair and commentator.
