Notes: Explore Canada+s old west to the era of the +Last Best West+ and learn the region+s often forgotten and long history of Native history and politics, warfare, contact in the fur trade, and the tumult of the sod-buster era. Ranchers, raiders and Red River rivalries are rediscovered in this region+s rich past by examining oral history, winter count buffalo robes, fur post documents, newspaper accounts, missionary writings and NWMP reports.

Notes: Few would have guessed that the Canada created in 1867 and soon constituting one of the largest and least populated nations on earth would become anything of a success story. However, +Canada,+ as The Economist said in 2003, +is now rather cool.+ This experiment in nation-building has taken unexpected turns despite the pull of regionalism, endless debates about federalism, French/ English tensions and on-going economic reliance on traditional export staples. Canadian history has seen remarkable economic expansion and adjustment into industrialized and urban realities. Canadian internationalism has emerged with the nation+s participation in wars and world trade economies and markets. This course evaluates just what was created in 1867 and how +being Canadian+ has been understood, negotiated and re-imagined ever since.

Notes: Exchange, Trade and Cultural Encounter in North America: the history of cross-cultural contact in North America from the late sixteenth through nineteenth centuries. This seminar challenges students to critically assess what happened when the cultures, economies, trading institutions and world views of New and Old World people mixed together in pre-colonial, colonial and pioneer periods. All 500-level History courses are restricted to History Majors, ANME Majors and History Graduate students until July 21 for the Fall and Winter terms.

Notes: Study Canadian history from the perspective of its trade-oriented economy. Course topics include the hotly debated trade issues confronting 19th and 20th century Canadian politics and society. Students will examine how US Canadian economic integration, finances and trade tightened after WWI, and analyze the means by which natural resources, defence production, and trade diplomacy changed Canadian political discourse. Of special relevance will be discussions around Canada+s `traditions+ of economic nationalism, infant industry protection, British preference and, finally, free trade policy which emerged in contexts of crises, prosperity, and globalization. NOTE: All are welcome: Pre-requisites for this course have been waived.
