British Nova Scotia and French Acadia were imaginary places that administrators hoped to graft over the ancestral homelands of the Mi'kmaq, Wulstukwiuk, Passamaquoddy, and Abenaki peoples. Homelands and Empires is the inaugural volume in the University of Toronto Press's Studies in Atlantic Canada History. In this deeply researched and engagingly argued work, Jeffers Lennox reconfigures our general understanding of how Indigenous peoples, imperial forces, and settlers competed for space in northeastern North America before the British conquest in 1763. Lennox's judicious investigation of official correspondence, treaties, newspapers and magazines, diaries, and maps reveals a locally developed system of accommodation that promoted peaceful interactions but enabled violent reprisals when agreements were broken. This outstanding contribution to scholarship on early North America questions the nature and practice of imperial expansion in the face of Indigenous territorial strength."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x History $z Atlantic Provinces $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x History $z Atlantic Provinces $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Land settlement $z Atlantic Provinces $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Land settlement $z Atlantic Provinces $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a Atlantic Provinces $x History $y 17th century. 651 0 $a Atlantic Provinces $x History $y 18th century. 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Land tenure. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969807 650 7 $a Land settlement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00991305 651 7 $a Canada $z Atlantic Provinces. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240723 648 7 $a 1600-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Studies in Atlantic Canada history. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802030700.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0976C6DA621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
