Illustrated Lecture |

William Fitzhugh (director, Arctic Studies Center) discusses archaeological studies of Quebec's North Shore. For more than 7,500 years, Native cultures have thrived there on a rich bounty of fish, waterfowl, and marine mammals. This way of life has provided some of the earliest evidence for elaborate ceremonialism in the archaeological record, as well as some of the earliest industrial development of New World resources by Europeans. Celebrates American Indian Heritage Month.
