Throughout most of the pre-confederation period the fur trade dominated the life of Indians and Europeans alike. Arthur Ray's earlier book, Indians in the Fur Trade, studied the role of the Indians as they responded to the changing environmental and economic conditions between 1660 and 1870. 'Give Us Good Measure' concentrates on the early contact between the Indians and the Hudson's Bay Company. It offers a path-breaking analysis of the differing European and Indian economic customs and the ways in which the two cultural groups accommodated their differences in order to establish a long-lasting partnership. The authors also examine the way in which the partnership responded to changing economic conditions around Hudson Bay.
