Abstract
"For the general reader this is a unique opportunity to learn more about the native people who lived in Canada before Jacques Cartier. After introducing us to the basic research techniques used by archaeologists, the author presents and illustrates six facets of prehistoric life: hunting, fishing, farming, toolmaking, trading and house building. By drawing together a wide range of information on each subject, he encourages the reader to perceive similarities and differences among Indian and Inuit cultures and to appreciate the rich heritage of Canada's native peoples." -- Back cover.
