representative peoples within the major aboriginal culture
groups ranging from the Arctic to the southern 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, Iames 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 the
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.
