About the book

Concerns over Aboriginal treaties and their impact on the forest industry and the survival of forestry-dependent towns have resulted in increasingly tense relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal residents of interior British Columbia communities. In this ethnographic case study of Williams Lake, Elizabeth Furniss looks at the roots of social conflicts and examines how prevalent colonial assumptions of history, identity, and Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal relations affect the lives of all area residents.
