Abstract: A lively and accessible introduction to Ontario's Aboriginal past, from the provinces leading archaeologists. Before Ontario there was ice. As the last ice age came to an end, land began to emerge from the melting glaciers. With time, plants and animals moved into the new landscape and people followed. For almost 15,000 years, the land that is now Ontario has provided a home for their descendants: hundreds of generations of First Peoples.
