Scope and content | A typed transcript of an old document, "The Mixed or 'Half-Breed' Races of North-Western Canada", by A. P. Reid, Director of the Journal Of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, 4 (1875): 45-52. Professor Reid ranks the various mixed races of the Canadian west from most desirable to least desirable in nine separate classes. The paper is derived from fieldwork done in the Manitoba region. In the paper, he compares his field experience to the stereotypes of each group for the benefit of his peers. He notes that white men take on several Indian traits after living in Canada for a long period of time. He also describes the customs and activities of each race. | |
