This updated edition contains new information on plant management, wage labor, the Nisga's agreement, and the discovery in Northwestern B.C. of a frozen 600-year-old man. The appendices, readings, and all names, numbers, and spellings have been updated. Robert Muckle surveys the history, diversity, and complexity of First Nations from an anthropological perspective, incorporating archaeological, ethnographic, historic, and legal-political issues. The book is an excellent introduction for anyone interested in Native American peoples.
