This is a listing of the tribal, band, group and/or geographic affiliations of persons recorded in western Canadian history. This coding is used in all our publications and in the Heritage Databank website www.inewhist.com. It is a shorthand that allows researchers to quickly identify where a person was, who he/she was affiliated with, and how these affiliations changed over time. It also allows for better identification of and distinction between peoples of the same name. For those who do extensive research, it is a mnemonic device that allows for quick recollection of facts associated with that person and that group.

"This monograph documents the Metis men and women of the Cypress Hills Metis Hunting Brigade of the 1870s. This group petitioned the Canadian government for a reserve in 1878. The ancestors of this group were the Metis who fought in the Battle of Seven Oaks (1816) and in the Battle of the Grand Coteau (1851). The proposed reserve was to be 50 miles in width (north-south) and 120 miles in length running westward beginning where the Pembina River crosses the border from Canada into the USA."--

Hide production is one of the oldest crafts known to humans. Yet this is the first volume to critically explore the gendered nature of this universal activity amongst hunters-gatherers for its meaning in craft production, status, identity and cultural change. Using ethnoarchaeological and archaeological examples from North America and Africa, the authors provide new insights of the gendered nature of human behavior.
