Join co-editor Keith Thor Carlson and local contributors Adar Charlton, Amanda Fehr, Katya C. MacDonald, Chris Marsh and Colin Osmond for the launch of Towards a New Ethnohistory: Community Engaged Scholarship Among the People of the River.

Towards a New Ethnohistory engages respectfully in cross-cultural dialogue and interdisciplinary methods to co-create with Indigenous people a new, decolonized ethnohistory. This new ethnohistory reflects Indigenous ways of knowing and is a direct response to critiques of scholars who have for too long foisted their own research agendas onto Indigenous communities.

Community-engaged scholarship invites members of the Indigenous community themselves to identify the research questions, host the researchers while they conduct the research and participate meaningfully in the analysis of the researchers’ findings.

This collection presents the best work to come out of the world’s only graduate-level humanities-based ethnohistory fieldschool. The blending of methodologies and approaches from the humanities and social sciences is a model of 21st-century interdisciplinarity.
