Change

 Pottery making began to make its presence known in what is now Canada three thousand years ago.

Here we have tools of people from the Arctic.

Nuvumiutaq is the name that has been given to an Inuit man that lived 800 years ago on Baffin Island. This is the collaboration of the Museum and the community of Arctic Bay. The remains of a hunter were found, excavated, and studied, along with his belongings. After scans were made, full scale physical reproductions of the man and those possessions were made before all were returned to the community for burial. In consultation with the community, he was made to look like he would have looked, and here he stands.

1500 years ago, First Peoples were getting more and more into agriculture. Three crops- corn, squash, and beans- were prevalent for them.

Change was coming. A thousand years ago the first Europeans made their way into the New World. They were Norse sailors, also called Vikings.
