24 Chapter 2 also began to shift, in that “the inventory of distinct traits” defining each group was being “produced to a significant extent through interaction with other sectors of the society” (Jackson 1989:128) – the collective space of the evolving plural society at Fort Chipewyan. These processes intensified in the twentieth century as local Aboriginal people came to define themselves within the framework of the encompassing Canadian society. For now, it is enough to know that by the end of the nineteenth century, all of these terms were firmly in use and contributed to the intersubjectivity of the fur trade world and its distinctive mode of production. No matter what people called themselves in their immediate families and communities, they recognized the common meanings of terms such as “Chipewyan,” “Cree,” “Indian,” “White,” and “Half-breed.” They were part of the lexicon of the fur trade and of that new space of common interaction.
