About This Book

A concise regional handbook that describes Indigenous lifeways before and after European contact, outlining seasonal routines, dwellings, clothing, craft techniques such as pottery and birch-bark canoe construction, food production from gardening to communal hunting drives, and household and ceremonial objects. It also surveys later encounters with colonists, trade relations, shifting territorial claims, and armed conflicts that affected native communities. Museum examples and archaeological observations are used throughout to illustrate cultural practices and change over time.
