pp. 542 b/w illustrations, maps.”This text surveys, from earliest times to the present, representative peoples within the major aboriginal culture groups, ranging from the Arctic to the southern Canadian prairies and from the Atlantic provinces to British Columbia. The editors provide overviews of the origins, the basic pattern of traditional life, and the contemporary features of seven cultural regions. Within each of these regions, contributing authors examine the anthropology and history of specific groups, such as the MicMac, James Bay Cree, and many others. The reader learns to appreciate the development of aboriginal societies, both on their own traditional terms and within the context of changes forced by an expanding Canadian society. Each author also describes his or her own theoretical and personal relationship with those societies. “Native Peoples” extends to the reader not only the tools necessary to an understanding of the situation of contemporary native peoples in Canada, but a sense of the richness and complexity of native life. ” paperback edition
