Since Native Peoples and Cultures of Canada was first
published in 1988, its two editions have sold some 30,000 copies, and it is
widely used as the basic text in colleges and universities across the country.
Now revised and retitled, Fist Peoples in Canada still provides
an overview of all the Aboriginal groups in Canada. Incorporating the latest
research in anthropology, archaeology, ethnography and history, this new
edition describes traditional ways of life, traces cultural changes that
resulted from contacts with the Europeans, and examines the controversial
issues of land claims and self-government that now affect Aboriginal societies.
Most importantly, this generously illustrated edition incorporates a Nativist
perspective in the analysis of Aboriginal cultures. |
