Abstract

This map shows the distribution of Aboriginal peoples early in the eighteenth century after a hundred years of Aboriginal-European contact at the time of the French Regime.

A linguistic family code identifies each ethnohistorical society on the map and is used to reference specific information for each ethnohistorical society.
