In Search of Canada’s Ancient Heartland (2012)

In Search of Canada's Ancient Heartland by Barbara Huck & Doug Whiteway

Discover Manitoba's geology, paleontology & archaeology

Once, Manitoba lay beneath the sea.

Once, it was crushed by vast sheets of ice.

Once, it was covered by one of the largest lakes the world has ever known.

Once, it was a land of bounty for First Peoples of Canada.

Today, clues to this ancient past are everywhere – in its plains and hills, along its lakes and rivers, and around its seacoast. For the first time, Manitoba's geological, paleontological and archeological wonders are gathered in one place.

With hundreds of colour photographs, maps and illustrations, In Search of Canada's Ancient Heartland presents an accessible, route-oriented approach for today's time travellers, creating an indispensable guide to the forces that have shaped the spirit of the land.
