This critical re-evaluation of the company's first planned settlement at Red River uncovers that history. As a settler-colonialist project par excellence, the Red River Colony was designed to undercut Indigenous peoples' troublesome\" autonomy and better control their labour. Susan Dianne Brophy upends standard historical portrayals by foregrounding Indigenous peoples' autonomy as a driving force of change. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Legacy of Exploitation\u003c\/em\u003e offers a comprehensive account of legal, economic, and geopolitical relations to show how autonomy can become distorted as complicity in processes of dispossession.
