A History of the Native People of Canada
The only history that exists for the more than 12,000 years that the Native peoples occupied Canada prior to its colonization by Europeans is based upon archaeological evidence, as there are no pre-European written records. It is an incomplete history, reliant upon such remains as broken stone tools, discarded food bones, and the vague traces of dwellings. Even given the limitations of the archaeological record, evidence of human cultural ingenuity, perseverance, commerce, and religion still manages to express itself. |
