The Cree as Colonial People - Howard Adams. - Article. - 1969.

Articles » General
Author/Creator
Howard Adams
This article details how Aboriginals and Metis were an essential part of the early historic period of Canada, serving as suppliers of furs and as explorers for the Europeans. After the mid-19th century, when the economy changed to industrialization and farming, aboriginals and Metis were no longer necessary. Adams foresees decolonization being achieved by building a power base through political and psychological struggle.
