The singularity of the encounter between the ecosystems of the Old World and the New in the past 500 years is hard to fathom. [...] The secondary goal of this book is to consider the role of disease in shaping the territorial history of the country between the Missouri River and the boreal forest in the years before Canada’s acquisition of the west. [...] The study was among the first to focus on the occupation of specific Cree groups on the parklands just east of the plains, including the Pegogamaw, the Cowanitow, and the Basquia, who had inhabited the region before the arrival of traders. [...] Uncertainty over the future of the land grew as the Royal Charter of the HBC came under attack and the east began to view the territory as ripe terrain for the agricultural expansion of Canada. [...] In another article, “Health Patterns and Underdevelopment on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation,” Campbell again stressed that the physical decline of the community was the “direct result of the political and economic control held by the Indian office” that deprived the Cheyenne of a viable economic base and the resources needed to maintain their health.38 In Canada, the second edition of Aborigina
