Abstract
This is an ethnohistory of the Haida based on archival research, and interviews and correspondence with informants. The author relies on Murdock’s earlier studies for discussing traditional culture. The history of contact is divided into four periods: 1) early contact and fur trade (1774-1876); 2) missionary period and resettlement (1876-1900); 3) the economic development of the fishery and lumbering industries (1900-1940); and 4) changes in government policy towards indigenous populations since the Second World War (1940-1970). The book includes a comprehensive survey of the different communities prior to their resettlement and concentration.
