We’re back today with everyone’s favourite series, Historian’s Histories! If you’d like to see more posts from this series, you can do so here. This latest entry features fellow Cape Bretoner and Yukon trekker Heather Green. She was kind enough to take some time from her busy adventure schedule to share with us!
Heather Green is a post-doctoral fellow with the Wilson Institute in Canadian History at McMaster University where she studies transnational tourism in the Yukon, specifically the rise of sport hunting, conservation policy, and Indigenous engagement. She is also a Fulbright Canada scholar with the University of Arizona examining the ways in which Indigenous groups in Arizona developed guiding and outfitting businesses for tourists in the early 20th century. She is also this year’s New Scholars representative for NiCHE! You can find her on Twitter @heathergreen21 usually tweeting about #envhist, the Yukon, and her dog, Whiskey!
