Abstract

"This richly illustrated book gives an overview of the fascinating prehistory of Western Canada's subarctic region. The region was crisscrossed and inhabited during the complex resettling of Canada at the end of the last Ice Age. The author describes the waxing and waning of ancient cultures, and the arrival of new peoples and adoption of new tool technologies in the North. Historical information is linked with archaeology to offer clues about the ancestors of the present Indian inhabitants of the Subarctic, their tools and weapons, hunts and travels, shelters and camps, and trade and other aspects of prehistoric lifeways."--Amazon.
