History 1120- An Introduction to Canadian History at Thompson Rivers University is designed to teach the development of Canada to 1867. Emphasis is placed on Aboriginal-European relations, the history of New France, military conflicts, the political and economic development of British North America, social and cultural history, and the project of Confederation. In order to successfully learn and think like a historian, one must have an ethno-historical methodology. To think ethno-historical, one must combine historical and anthropological viewpoints, using written documents, oral narratives and material culture. Throughout my blog, I will show the importance of doing history this way. Enjoy!
