Description and Table of Contents
Description
Volume one of James V. Wright's classic study of Canada's First Peoples examines aboriginal history from 10,000 to 1,000 BC. This period includes the original settlement of the Americas, cultural diversification, technological advances, expanding trade networks, and the development of complex belief systems. Covering events and achievements from east to west, this volume explores key Native cultures in Canada, along with innovations ranging from the spear-thrower and togging harpoon to metallurgy and the bow and arrow. This fresh edition of the lavishly illustrated book includes a glossary and extensive bibliography, and is a useful reference work for scholars and laypersons alike.
