Solstice-aligned boulder configurations in Saskatchewan by Alice Beck Kehoe,Thomas F. Kehoe Pdf

Of eleven Saskatchewan boulder configurations examined by the authors, three were found to correlate to astronomical phenomena. Although a search for local oral traditions which might explain these associations proved largely fruitless, there was some evidence that the configurations may have functioned as memorials to dead chiefs and as year-beginning markers for past calendar keepers.

America Before the European Invasions by Alice Beck Kehoe Pdf

Beginning with the immigrants from Asia, through inventions of agriculture, cities and kingdoms, American First Nations are integral to the history of the United States. They explored the continent, pioneered its waterways and mountain passes, cleared forests, irrigated deserts, and ranched its great plains. Invading Europeans justifies their conquests by denying the evidence of American Indian civilisations. Using her familiarity with the archaeological remains and remnants, Alice Kehoe builds a fascinating prehistory, highlighting the research puzzles along the way. This book presents an enthralling look at the depth and diversity of American history - before the Europeans and the deadly epidemics they brought with them decimated whole nations.

Algonquin ethnobotany by Meredith Jean Black Pdf

A compilation of published ethnobotanical data pertaining to all of the Algonkian speaking peoples of eastern North America and field data concerning the Algonquin bands of the Ottawa River drainage and the Cree bands of the St. Maurice drainage of western Quebec. These data help illuminate past subsistence patterns, the seasonal movements of the Algonquin, and the relationship between Algonquin bands and other Algonkian speakers. They also indicate that the Algonquin previously enjoyed a subarctic subsistence orientation similar to that of the Cree and other northerners in contrast to their Iroquoian neighbours thus necessitating a redefinition of the eastern subarctic culture area.

This monograph consists of word and affix-lists, as well as grammatical observations, concerning the language of the Southern Labrador Inuit from 1694 to 1785. They were collected from written texts of this period and show that the language of these eighteenth century Inuit is almost identical with that of their contemporaries in the Eastern Canadian Arctic./Ce travail présente sous forme de listes de mots et d’affixes ainsi que de remarques grammaticales les données linguistiques continues dans les textes d’époque portant sur les Inuits du Labrador méridional, de 1694 à 1785.
