Winner of the 1995 Ontario Historical Society Joseph Brant Award for the most efficient book on native studies

Aboriginal Ontario: Historical Perspectives on the First Nations incorporates seventeen essays on aspects of the history of the First Nations living inside the present-day boundaries of Ontario. This volume reviews the experience of both the Algonquian and Iroquoian peoples in Southern Ontario, in addition to the Algonquians in Northern Ontario. The first section describes the climate and landforms of Ontario thousands of years ago. It features 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 one and third sections look respectively on the Native peoples of Southern Ontario and Northern Ontario, from 1550 to 1945. The final section looks at more contemporary developments. The volume includes a large number of illustrations and maps, in addition to an extensive bibliography.
