Description
Each of the maps featured on this book used to be showcased within the exhibition “Canada before Confederation: Early Exploration and Mapping,” which took place in a number of locations, both in Canada and out of the country, in Fall of 2017. The authors provide a scholarly study highlighting the significance and unique features of each and every of these jewels of cartographic history, with particular attention paid to how they demonstrate the improvement of Canadian identity on the same time that they reveal Indigenous knowledge of the lands now referred to as Canada.
