"Migration has been part of the world-wide human experience for as long as people have inhabited the Earth. That portion of the North American continent now known as Manitoba was no exception, having witnessed time and again the influx and out-migration of Aboriginal people since as far back as the last Ice Age and quite possibly beyond.

Drawing upon age-old Native teachings and such diverse disciplines as archaeology, ethnology, historiography, geography, linguistics and the earth sciences, the author brings together a variety of traditional accounts, current theories and documented instances of human migration that came to involve the region of southern Manitoba. In his efforts to identify the origins, circumstances and ultimate conclusions of these movements, he examines the record of Aboriginal history across far-flung reaches of time and space. The study of Manitoba migrations is a study of almost 12,000 years of humanity's past as it was played out over a major portion of the North American continent."--Back cover.
