Ancient People of the Arctic traces the lives of the
Palaeo-Eskimos, the bold first explorers of the Arctic. Four
thousand years ago, these people entered the far northern extremes
of the North American continent, carving a living out of their
bleak new homeland. From the hints they left behind, accessible
only through the fragmented archaeological record, Robert McGhee
ingeniously reconstructs a picture of this life at the margins. He
discusses how the Palaeo-Eskimos spread across the entire Arctic,
explains how they dealt with sharp climate changes that drastically
altered their environment, offers glimpses into their spiritual
practices and world view, and speculates about their eventual
demise.
