Book Description
From the mighty cedar of the rainforest came a wealth of raw materials vital to the early Northwest Coast Indian way of life, its art and culture. For thousands of years these people developed the tools and technologies to fell the giant cedars that grew in profusion. They used the rot-resistant wood for graceful dugout canoes to travel the coastal waters, massive post-and-beam houses in which to live, steam bent boxes for storage, monumental carved poles to declare their lineage and dramatic dance masks to evoke the spirit world. Every part of the cedar had a use. The versatile inner bark they wove into intricately patterned mats and baskets, plied into rope and processed to make the soft, warm, yet water-repellent clothing so well suited to the raincoast. Tough but flexible withes made lashing and heavy-duty rope. The roots they wove into watertight baskets embellished with strong designs. For all these gifts, the Northwest Coast peoples held the cedar and its spirit in high regard, believing deeply in its healing and spiritual powers. Respectfully, they addressed the cedar as Long Life Maker, Life Giver and Healing Woman. Photographs, drawings, anecdotes, oral history, accounts of early explorers, traders and missionaries highlight the text.

Book Description
The primary goal of the 1966 National Historic Parks and Sites Branch excavations at Ile-aux-Noix was the search for features of the French period. Evidence of French features was not found. This report describes excavations of the porter's cottage and of the civilian barracks/straw shed, two British structures revealed during the search for French remains. Tests in various mounds and other locations on the northern half of the island are also included, as is a brief description of salvage recording of a construction project in the rampart of Fort Lennox.

Book Description
Despite severe disturbance caused by the construction of a British fort in the 19th-century, the area covered by the cloverleaf bastion and perhaps other areas of the fort at Coteau-du-Lac can be shown to have been occupied or used periodically for some 5,000 years. The presence of certain diagnostic artifacts permits the identification of at least four prehistoric occupations of the site: the Brewerton and probably the Vergonnes phases of the Laurentian tradation; another later Archaic manifestation represented by Lamoka points; a Middle Woodland occupation represented by Point Peninsula pottery and human remains; and a Late Woodland presence, poorly but surely in evidence due to five Iroquoian potsherds.
