"The whiskey brought among us by the Traders is fast killing us off and we are powerless before the evil...we are unable to pitch anywhere that the Trader cannot follow us."
Between 1870 and 1875, hundreds of Blackfoot Indians died as a result of the whisky trade, either killed in drunken quarrels, shot by whisky traders, frozen to death while drunk, or from the poisonous effects of the whisky itself. Chiefs lost their authority, people traded everything they owned, and entire communities were decimated.
At first, alcohol was only available during visits to the Hudson's Bay or North West Company trading posts, but when Montana traders began to pour unlimited supplies of whisky into Blackfoot camps in exchange for buffalo robes, the Blackfoot were swept into a malestrom of alcohol, violence, and death.
Historian Hugh Dempsey offers a comprehensive and highly readable look at the people and history of the trade, the impact on Native peoples, and its effect on US-Canada relations. He includes new research and a thoughtful exploration of the events and circumstances that brought a proud people to their knees.
"...a wonderfully written, magisterial history...a study of significance and sympathy...
"With grace, insight and clarity, Hugh Dempsey once again leads us into a more human, more personal reconsideration of the Blackfoot and that flamboyant, opportunistic transborder world formerly known as 'Whoop-Up Country.'"
"At last we have a history of the Whisky Trade in Southern Alberta from a Canadian perspective."
Hugh Dempsey is the author of many books on western Canadian history, but is perhaps best known for his biographies of the First Nations people, including books on Crowfoot, Big Bear, Red Crow, and Charcoal. He is a recipient of the Order of Canada, has an honorary doctorate from the university of Calgary, and is an honorary chief of the Blood tribe. He is also Chief Curator Emeritus of the Glenbow Museum and Adjunct Professor of History at the University of Calgary. He lives in Calgary with his wife, Pauline.
