Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book includes over 500 collective biographies of Indigenous peoples of Canada. The author provides detailed in-depth profiles of distinct tribal groups, organized by geographical location. This volume originated as an effort by the Bureau of American Ethnology in 1873, to create a dictionary of American Indian tribes. The author's detailed biographical profiles of indigenous societies commenced in the 1907 Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico and continued until 1910. The result is a comprehensive guide to the history, culture, social organization, and achievements of Canada's native peoples. The text is beautifully illustrated and includes valuable historic maps though it should be noted that some are from as far back as 1910 and so may not reflect the latest political and cultural boundaries. Despite that limitation, this well-produced book is a rich historical document and a remarkable testament to the diversity of the indigenous peoples of Canada.
