Innovative analyses of material culture from northern North America that engage with and illuminate entanglements within global, imperial, and colonial networks.

An original perspective on the history of northern North American peoples grounded in things, this book explores how close, collaborative looking can discern the traces of contact, exchange, and movement of objects and give them a life and political power in complex cross-cultural histories.
