Thesis (Ph.D.)--Auburn University, 1993.

This study seeks to explore the affect of European trade on the Indians of the southern backcountry during the period of British settlement. It contends that trade was a powerful, manipulative tool used by both sides to control the other. As a result, many aspects of native culture, such as women's role, were forever changed.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study seeks to explore the affect of European trade on the Indians of the southern backcountry during the period of British settlement. It contends that trade was a powerful, manipulative tool used by both sides to control the other. As a result, many aspects of native culture, such as women's role, were forever changed.
520 $a European fur traders sought out native women as cultural instructors and sexual companions. Through their relationships with these fur traders and later Indian agents, Indian women experienced an improvement in the material conditions of their lives in the short term. Over time, however, these men helped superimpose European cultural values of the proper role for women over existing native ones. As such, native women experienced a diminution of their own political power. Of special difficulty in researching this process is the lack of records detailing such matters in the Southeast.
520 $a Fur traders and Indian agents were a unique breed of men, conforming to the character profile of men from Scotland and Ireland created by David Fischer in Albion's Seed. Predominantly from the British Isles, these men wielded considerable power over the tribes with whom they traded. Their lives and their influence in Anglo-Indian relations in the Southeast have been sorely neglected.
520 $a So many individuals crowded into this rather precarious profession that the glut created a competition for the Indian trade which the southeastern Indians learned to use to their own advantage. Though the Indians became addicted to the trade, the colonials and the British government became trapped in it as well, fearful that a failure to supply their Indian clients might prompt them to realign themselves with other colonies or other colonial powers. Although limited by the cultural biases of eighteenth century observers of the southern Indians, sufficient evidence exists to document these effects of European trade on native cultures.
