Document Summary
Feminist looked at geography based on a gender based. Women were at home and men took the aspect at more of a public and business aspect. Common threads: geographies are formed through powerful social relations, geographical knowledge itself is embedded in social relations, other geographies are possible . If some countries have too much history, we have too much geography . Huronia (consisted of what we today call simcoe county) One of the most densely populated regions of pre-contact canada. How the aboriginals select their areas is based on water access, land quality, and certain trees to burn wood. They must be spread out from other villages. Small villages, limited soil depletion, no drainage initiatives. Abandoned villages could be reclaimed in about 100 years. Beaver population decimated only through fur trade. Demographic collapse of hurons was caused by european contact.
