The Mi'kmaq used diplomacy, strategic alliances, and sometimes armed
resistance to negotiate favorable terms, protect their interests, and maintain
autonomy.
The Mi'kmaq adapted by engaging in the fur trade, establishing trading

over resources.

The Beothuk decided against establishing trade relations with Europeans due to
mistrust, past conflicts, and the desire to maintain autonomy. They preferred to
avoid the disruptions and dependencies that came with European trade.
, Wicken and Reid agree with Battiste on the importance of treaties and education
for Mi'kmaq self-determination. They differ in their emphasis on specific historical
events and their interpretations of Mi'kmaq strategies and responses to colonial
pressures .
These strategies had mixed outcomes; while some groups managed to
maintain influence and negotiate favorable terms, others experienced
significant loss of power and autonomy due to disease, conflict, and
colonial policies.
The introduction of guns and horses revolutionized warfare, hunting, and
transportation on the Plains. Guns increased the intensity of conflict, while horses
enhanced mobility and efficiency in hunting, especially in bison hunts. These
technologies also shifted gender roles, with women taking on more supportive

Common Arguments:
-Marginalization: All authors highlight the historical marginalization
of Indigenous women in historical narratives.
-Cultural Resilience: They emphasize the resilience and agency of
Indigenous women in preserving their cultures and identities.
Distinct Arguments:
-Trimble: Focuses on the legal and social discrimination faced by
Indigenous women under colonial laws.
-Barman: Examines the intersections of race, gender, and class in
shaping Indigenous women's experiences.
, -Sangster: Analyzes labor history, emphasizing the economic
contributions of Indigenous women.
-Erickson: Explores the role of Indigenous women in fur trade
society and their interactions with European settlers.
-Bailey (Video): Uses multimedia to illustrate the personal stories and
broader historical contexts of Indigenous women's experiences,
adding a contemporary perspective to the discussion (Various
Sources).

Cordillera, between what is now the Peace District and the West Coast, including
the Interior Plateau, the Kootenays, and the various chains of islands from Haida
Gwaii through the Salish Sea?
Trimble, Barman, Sangster, and Erickson all write about ways in which
Indigenous women have been perceived and understood historically.
Bailey adds to this discussion through her video. What do their arguments
have in common? In what ways are they distinct?
Mary-Ellen Kelm's research posits the colonization of actual Indigenous bodies.
What does that mean and, assuming she's right, how did that take place?
What do the readings suggest to you about the peculiar risks faced by
Indigenous women? Why do those risks exist, and why—and in what ways—are
they greater than those faced by other demographics in Canada?
