Notes: When has the north ever figured so importantly in Canada+s politics, resource economics and imagination than now? In fact, for quite some time. Discover the history of Northern Canada and the ways that northern people, the region+s wealth, and rich imagery have seized the interests of explorers, empires and entrepreneurs to the present day. Canada+s present northern issues find more meaning when students shift the history of the region from one of resource hinterland, to one of homeland, and learn, through Native oral history, critical reading of primary documents and new historiography the north and its fascinating past. |
