Winner of the 1995 Ontario Historical Society Joseph Brant
Award for the best book on native studies Aboriginal Ontario:
Historical Perspectives on the First Nations contains seventeen
essays on aspects of the history of the First Nations living within
the present-day boundaries of Ontario. This volume reviews the
experience of both the Algonquian and Iroquoian peoples in Southern
Ontario, as well as the Algonquians in Northern Ontario. The first
section describes the climate and landforms of Ontario thousands of
years ago. It includes a comprehensive account of the
archaeologists' contributions to our knowledge of the material
culture of the First Nations before the arrival of the Europeans.
The essays in the second and third sections look respectively at
the Native peoples of Southern Ontario and Northern Ontario, from
1550 to 1945. The final section looks at more recent developments.
The volume includes numerous illustrations and maps, as well as an
extensive bibliography.
