Sinossi
Before explorers set foot on its shores, before maps gave it shape, Canada was a vast and storied land, rich with culture, trade, and tradition. In "The Dawn of Canadian History: A Chronicle of Aboriginal Canada", celebrated author Stephen Leacock steps away from satire to offer a compelling account of Canada’s earliest beginnings—long before colonization, when Indigenous peoples thrived across a continent of rivers, forests, and plains. With clarity and reverence, Leacock traces the lives of the First Nations, their complex societies, spiritual beliefs, and advanced trade systems. He then explores the arrival of Norse adventurers and the slow, often tragic evolution of contact between Europe and Aboriginal Canada. Written in the early 20th century, the book reflects the perspectives of its time, but also marks an important effort to recognize the deep roots of Canada’s national story. This concise yet rich narrative serves as both an introduction and a tribute to the peoples who shaped the land long before it bore the name “Canada.” A fascinating entry point for anyone interested in Indigenous history, early exploration, or the soul of a nation.
