The title,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTurtle Island\u003c\/i\u003e, refers to a Native story that explains how North and Central America were formed on the back of a turtle. Based on archeological finds and scientific research, we now have a clearer picture of how the Indigenous people lived. Using that knowledge, the authors take the reader back as far as 14,000 years ago to imagine moments in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wide variety of topics are featured, from the animals that came and disappeared over time, to what people ate, how they expressed themselves through art, and how they adapted to their surroundings. The importance of story-telling among the Native peoples is always present to shed light on how they explained their world. The end of the book takes us to modern times when the story of the Native peoples is both tragic and hopeful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContributor Bio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELDON YELLOWHORN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Piikani Nation) is a renowned and highly respected professor of Archeology and Indigenous Studies at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia.
