Clam gardens call into question hunter-gatherer past
The Canadian Press covered a story this weekend on the discovery of an expansive system of historic clam gardens along the Pacific Northwest coast, which contributes to a growing body of work negating long-held beliefs about First Nations as "heedless hunter-gatherers." Nancy Turner spoke about the idea of First Nations as foragers. CBC News, Huffington Post, Montreal Gazette, The Province and Vancouver Sun amongst other outlets picked up the CP story.
