This period saw changes along the north trail that set the stage for the history of Alberta and western Canada as we know it - thanks to the unexpected results of an action by the Hudson's Bay Company.

This is Volume 2 in a series on the Indian history of Jasper, covering the early historical period of 1750-1850. The human history of Jasper has historically and archaeologically always differed from that of the rest of the province.

Though no longer isolated,...

While most Canadians have heard of the Indian Chiefs Poundmaker, Big Bear and perhaps even Broken Arm (MASKI PITON), Chief PESEW has remained virutally unkown.
