Digitized edition from print [produced by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada]. Includes bibliographical references. "The fact that Big Bear was never recognised as a chief by the Hudson’s Bay Company indicates his position of independence. Not only was he reluctant to concede any authority to the Company or other white men, but also refused to stand in awe of the Métis. Because of his reputation for independence, Big Bear attracted a large following of Cree people, many of whom were aggressive and belligerent. For this reason, his band soon came to be regarded with disfavour by the Blackfoot, Hudson’s Bay Company and missionaries."--p. [1]. gccst Indians gccst Aboriginal peoples gccst Agreements Canada.
