Description: "With some of the earliest human settlement in North America, the region was the centre of archaeological initiatives and controversy. Early Manitoulin relations between First Nations People and whites were driven by poorly drafted and misunderstood treaties. And early settlement of the area provided challenges and experiences seldom remembered today. Travel by water and ice was an integral part of life, along with the related dangers of accidents and death. And the boom and bust of fishing and lumbering provided a drive and then slump of the economy. Throughout, tourism in its various forms was and is central to the region."--Pub. desc.
