This is Volume 2 in a series on the Indian history of Jasper, covering the early historicalperiod of 1750-1850. The human history of Jasperhas historically and archaeologically always differed from that of the rest of the province. Such was still the case at the beginnings of thisperiod, though changes were now on the way, as theCree, Iroquoias, traders and "Freemen" began to push into this moutain fastness. Though no longerisolated, the Jasper area continued to be distinct, with a mixture of a variety of ethnicgroups who eventually came to meld and identifylargely as Cree.

Volume 3 in the history of the North Trail from New Mexico to Northern Alberta, covering the 30 years (1 generation) from 1820-1850. 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. Blackfootpower and dominance began to subside in both the north andsouth of the trail, while the Mountain Cree now became thedominant group along the northern portion of the trail andin adjacent areas of British Columbia, Montana and Idaho. Atthe same time the Iroquois freemen, scattered from LesserSlave Lake to Utah, became fully integrated into the Cree.Though the Blackfoot continued to be prominent and dominantin both north and south, culturally the area was now divided into the violent and hostile south and the relatively peaceful north. Throughout this area a rudi-mentary Postal service now connected the far-flung Cree.522 pages.

In Canada Federal Government law requires that large earth-disturbance developments consult with the pertinent aboriginal groups who have historic connections with that location. To test to see how well this is being done, in the spring of 2013 we spent 2 weeks unercover with the Tera Environmental Consulting archaeological field crew to assess their work. What we looked ofr was site location, identification and reporting, site interpretation, Administration and management, consultation with aboriginal groups, Crew preparation and competence, interaction with aboriginal memembers. They failed on all counts. Consulta-tion was neglegible and ineffective; stapp underqualified; training nonexistent; proceedures unprofessional; 80% of sites were not identified or recorded; interpretation poor; interaction was poor at best. We include assessments and field notes and interpretive of a major site ignored by the consultant. 142 pages; photos; maps.

This is the first documented discovery of a Moundbuilder/Temple Mound Culture settlement in Canada, 1000 km. from the Moundbuilder homeland. This is contrary to the accepted archaeological history of Alberta. To date 40 sites, including several village/ceremonial sites related to the Mississippian Temple Mound Culture, including major earthworks, have been found. This is a northern relation to the Cahokia Temple Mound city remains. An introduction to six of the major sites to date and an attempt to identify who these early farming people were, where they came from and where they went. Photos. 155 pg.

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. He is not mentioned in the popular or academic history of the Canadian west or in the Indian history of the west. In fact, western development owes a large debt to Chief PESEW - Louis Joseph Piche. Coming west as a young Voyageur with Peter Pond, Piche eventually rose to become the Head Chief of the Cree/Nakoda alliance in the west, and their allied tribes. His sway reached from Winnipeg to the Pacific, and from Lesser Slave Lake to Wyoming. It is Piche and his followers who "settled" the west, and it is thanks to him that the west was settled peacefully for those who followed. Piche had a large family, and most of the Western Cree chiefs today can trace descent to him. 468 pages.

MASKI PITON, or Broken Arm, is perhaps the best-known or best publicised Cree Indian Chief, and has had more written about him than any other Chief or historic aboriginal person in Alberta. In spite of this, virtually nothing has been written about - or is known about - his band of the Plains Cree. Much that is known and has been written about him is incomplete and woefully lacking, not having been satisfactorily researched. In fact, the band ranged through a large area from the mountains of the North Saskatchewan to northern Minnesota. In fact, as it turns out, MASKI PITON's band is one of the best documented of the Plains Cree bands and, once we combine the records from Canada and the Untied States, we are able to reconstruct a very accurate record of the history of the band. This is the history of the Band from it's early origins to the reservation period, and is the first documentation of the range of the Plains Cree bands.

In the 1890's stories were circulating that at one time there had existed a 'North Trail', used by the aboriginal population and extending from the Arctic to Mexico. Historians generally discounted this as a myth. As late as the 1970's the OLD NORTH TRAIL was said to be a myth. In 1971 the Author published research that indicated that such a trail did in fact exist and had a documentable history. This publication takes that documented history back to the prehistoric period and on to the early historic period of Alberta and Montana. The book describes the trail and the location of the trail, suplemented with photos, and documents the events and use of the trail and portions of the trail as known to 1750 with numerous photographs. 203 pages. A following publication will cover the more recent history of the trail. known to

A continuation of the Alberta History Series, Part 3a, 1840 - 1860. The period from 1840 to 1870 was a period of great changes in the human history of Alberta and among the Native people, with the transition from the traditional hunting/ trapping/fur trade lifestyle to a Frontier Settlement culture. 1840-1860 saw both a continuing invasion of foreign aliens into the west, and the growth of the Indian culture into the Classical Plains Indian culture. Both influences were at work among the First Nations of central Alberta. On the one hand there was the growing classical Plains Indian lifestyle and regalia, and on the other hand a growing Frontier Settlement subsistence farming and increasing literacy and an expansion of the Cree culture to fill all the economic and commercial niches offered by a frontier society. 690 pages.
