Author Talk: Land of Beginnings: The Archaeology of Montana's First Peoples by Douglas H. MacDonald

How long have people lived in the place now known as Montana? When did they arrive? Where did they come from? Archaeologists have spent the last century working with Montana’s Indigenous peoples to try to answer these questions. While researchers have learned a great deal about the origins of the first people to call this region home, questions remain about which route or routes they took and when they made this journey. Douglas H. MacDonald, Professor of Archaeology in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Montana, delves into the deep history of Montana in Land of Beginnings: The Archaeology of Montana’s First Peoples. This talk will be recorded and posted to the MTHS YouTube channel.
