Stone Age Paintings (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Stone Age Paintings
Today these forests extend to Manitoba's northern boundary. One hundred thousand square miles of the province's northland lie within the wooded portion of the Canadian Shield. Into this region how long ago or from what direction no one yet knows came the ancestors of the Algonkian Speaking Cree and Ojibway, who share a language common to all the people of the Shield woodlands. And when the Europeans came they0 found wandering bands of hunters and fishermen whose culture was dis tinquished from the neighbouring ones by the many ways in which they put to use the bark of the birch and though some of their predecessors living around Lake Superior had learned to hammer copper into points and blades this skill had been lost. La Verendrye and Kelsey, whose ah cestors had left the Stone Age behind thousands of years earlier, eh countered a Stone Age people, still shaping their arrow points, spearheads, knives and skin scrapers from flints, cherts and quartzes until they could replace them with tools and weapons of European origin.
