Abstract

"The study of what has come to be known as cultural ecology owes a heavy debt to the studies of Canadian indigenous peoples and their adaptation to the disparate areas of Canada. This collection is a representative sample of both early and recent cultural arrangements and their relationship to the various environmental settings. The five principle areas are treated: The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence, the Boreal Forest, the Grasslands, the Pacific, and the Arctic and Barren Grounds. These essays throw considerable light on the broader subject of ecology, which is of such concern today.

Bruce Cox is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Carleton University, Ottawa."--Back cover.
