Book Review


The Culture of Hunting in Canada. Edited by Jean L. Manore and Dale G. Miner. Vancouver and Toronto: UBC Press, 2006. x + 276 pp. Illustrations, notes, tables, bibliographies, and index. Cloth $85.00, paper $32.95.

The focus of The Culture of Hunting in Canada is the longstanding conflict between non-Native, so-called "recreational" or "sport" hunters and their biologist/wildlife-management allies on one side, and Native "traditional" or "subsistence" hunters and their supporters, many of whom are academics in fields like anthropology and history, on the other side. The book's chief editor, Jean L. Manore, includes seventeen essays that are about evenly divided between the two ideological positions. 1
      The authors are a diverse group, and include college teachers of Native studies and history, as well as self-described naturalists and research consultants. Many of the essays have bibliographies that are embarrassingly incomplete. For example, only one of the pro-Native position writers includes Shepard Krech III's The Ecological Indian: Myth and History (W.W. Norton, 1999), which might have tempered their portrayal of Canadian Natives as natural ecologists. . . .
