Abstract
This document presents a research strategy for investigating the processes by which Chipewyan, Cree, Métis, and European populations have adapted to the natural environment, the Euro-Canadian fur trade economy, and to each other as both competing and cooperating social groups in the Upper Churchill River area of Saskatechewan. "An interpretive framework links local ecological relations with fur trade specialization and the nature of intergroup behavior and communications. The data base for assessing this framework was retrieved by a methodology combining participant and ethnoarchaeological observation of ongoing behavior with archaeological documentation of late historic sites. Special attention is given to the economic and social position of Chipewyan families in outpost and bush communities in northwestern Saskatechewan between 1890 and 1950" (p. 1).
