...assimilation/acculturation of hunter gathers....? I'm looking for a theoretical framework specifically relating to changing food producing practices (i.e. a subsistence pattern focused on hunting to one based off of a market economy) and the effect that it may have on social customs/status.
I'm not sure what your question is asking. Are you asking if there are any studies indicating that hunter gatherers were forced to change their food producing practices to some other culture's or are you asking if there are studies indicating that people were forced into adopting the hunter gatherer lifestyle?
there are many hypotheses regarding the origins of agriculture if that helps. Some include the oasis hypothesis, the natural habitat hypothesis, the population pressure hypothesis, the edge hypothesis, and the social hypothesis. You can look these up online.

I don't know much about the ethnography of hunter-gatherers (and it's a little unclear of you are looking for case material or theory) but here are a few suggestions:
"The Genocide Machine in Canada" by Bobert Davis and Mark Zannis, 1973. This is pretty detailed and heavy-hitting, focusing on northern Canada.
"Victims of Progress" by John Bodley. This is an intro text book looking mostly at the impact of state and market institutions on indigenous people; it's a little general and dry but easy to find and maybe you can branch out from there.
There should be many works written on the topic for both Canada and Australia. I would think that most documentation is more recent since in the colonial days extermination was more common than assimilation.
