Port au Choix, on the west side of Newfoundland's
Great Northern Peninsula, has been populated for thousands of
years. The rich waters off this coast have supported many different
groups of people, including those who live here today. The remains
of four ancient cultures have been found at Port au Choix to date:
Maritime Archaic Indian, Dorset and Groswater Paleoeskimo, and
Recent Indians. Archaeologists searched many years for a site
such as this one, which sheds new light on our understanding of
native peoples in this part of the world.
