Borders in Globalization – Pre-contact Boundaries of Aboriginal Peoples in the Lower Great Lakes

This project is a component of the Borders in Globalization initiative, an international network of academic partners which is engaged with non-academic organizations that are involved in the study and management of borders and borderlands in Canada and worldwide. The basic goal is to build excellence in the knowledge and understanding of borders. The contribution of this study will be a comprehensive, thematically organized bibliography pertaining to the nature and functioning of borders and boundaries amongst non-industrial societies with a focus on the archaeological and early historical record of Algonquian and Iroquoian societies indigenous to the Lower Great Lakes. This bibliography will ultimately be used by two principals of the partner organization (Archaeological Services Inc.), in collaboration with the student intern, to author a detailed academic paper on the subject as an anthropological and culture historical contribution to the overall Borders in Globalization enterprise.
