Long Citation (for publication and press release)
Jennifer S.H. Brown is one of North America's most outstanding ethnohistorians. Her studies of the fur trade and Northern Algonquian and Metis communities over four decades have transformed scholarly understanding of the complex encounters and relationships between Aboriginal peoples and colonial newcomers. Her illumination of the ways that familial and personal identities interact with cultural constructs of gender, religion, and ethnicity has inspired historians and anthropologists. As a Canada Research Chair in Aboriginal Peoples, she has demonstrated just how profoundly border-crossing,[delete comma] of both ethnic and geographical boundaries, has influenced the evolution of Canada and the United States. As well as influencing other scholars, Dr. Brown has worked intensively with Aboriginal North Americans as they set about their own recovery of the shared history of a continent.
