SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
We are about to venture into the little-known territory of relations with Aboriginal peoples, from the French Regime (and the period of the British Conquest that followed it) of long ago to our own times? This long span of events is essential to any understanding of contemporary relations between Quebecers and Aboriginal peoples, yet it has been characterized in our schoolbooks by a mysterious phenomenon: the virtual disappearance of the Aboriginal peoples from the historical landscape!
