The Native people of the Canadian prairies have been living on the land for at least 12, 000 years, finding sustainable lifestyles from the grasslands and the aspen parklands. Our knowledge of these people is limited: They have no writing, no large settlements, and very little in the way of lasting material things. Before the arrival of Europeans, they had no guns, no horses, and no hard metals. What clues we have gathered come primarily from the work of archaeologists sifting through the buried evidence – little bits of stone, bone and pottery, refuse heaps and fire pits, ancient villages and burials, fingerprints, and prehistoric blood.

In this revised and updated new edition, Liz Bryan takes the clues from decades of archaeological research and presents an immensely entertaining and informative account of these ancient people. In a writing style that is non-scientific yet based on all the scientific evidence, Bryan explains where the people might have come from, how they got on with their lives, an how they faded out of existence and memory. The book features photographs, maps, and line drawings to help illustrate this amazing story.
