The text is richly illustrated throughout with the and stories of the First Peoples, as well as maps, photos, and artifacts. Activities draw the reader into societies that are both old and contemporary. Canada's First Peoples connects to the present with an account of the relationship between the First Peoples and the newcomers to Canada. The recent struggles to obtain self-government and renew Native cultures suggest a new age for the First Peoples that seemed unlikely thirty or forty years ago.
