First Peoples of Canada offers a rare opportunity to experience a celebrated exhibition that has toured the world, yet has never been shown in Canada. This book presents a collection of 150 archaeological and ethnographic objects produced by Canada's First Peoples - including some that are thousands of years old - that represent spectacular expressions of creativity and ingenuity. These unique and priceless artifacts embody the rich diversity of skills and materials used by Canadian Inuit, First Nations, and Métis in both ancient and modern times.
