4.9/5 (32086 ratings)

Description:Many groups have shaped the development of Alberta's north. Since the late 1800's, the hopes, ambitions and needs of Aboriginal people, the fur traders, Metis, missionaries, railway promoters and entrepreneurs, farm settlers, and those who exploited fur, oil sands, lumber, fish salt and other minerals in the north have created a diverse society and economy. With the signing of Treaty 8 in 1899, Euro-Canadian interest and activity grew, and after 1905, the new province of Alberta further added to the forces promoting change in northern Alberta. As modern transportation made its way into northern Alberta, the Peace River country emerged as a important agricultural region, despite its distance from major markets and northern location. The Aboriginal economy, based on hunting, trapping, labour and other seasonal activities, endured in much of northern Alberta but faced many challenges, and was often displaced-despite the promises of Treaty 8-by Euro-Canadian interests. Alberta's North follows the transformation of northern Alberta after 1890 and the diverging ideals, economic activities, and social life and institutions that characterized its development.
