Abstract: Aboriginal issues feature prominently on the Canadian agenda, from land claims agreements to self-government to resource rights, and First Peoples in Canada sets the context for the evolving relationship between Canada and the Aboriginal communities whitin its borders. This comprehensive book, widely used as a basic text in universities and colleges, now incorporates a Native perspective with new research from archaeology, anthropology, ethnography and history to tell the story of Aboriginal people from ancient times to the present. Generously illustrated with many maps, drawings and photographs, these pages clearly detail the rich cultures of all First Nations in this country. -- From back cover
