The Indian History of British Columbia: The Impact of the White Man

More about the book

The book offers a comprehensive exploration of the historical interactions between British Columbia's First Nations and colonial cultures. Wilson Duff's scholarly work, first published in 1965, remains influential in anthropology and history, with over 15,000 copies sold and a place on many academic reading lists. Although intended as the first in a series of ethnic histories, Duff's subsequent manuscripts were never completed. Nonetheless, this book continues to be a vital resource for understanding the impact of European colonization on Indigenous peoples in the region.
