          Out of the Ice' is an historical overview of the earliest cultures in Alaska, and Canada and ancient migratory routes since the Paleo-Arctic period in North America. Archaeological and paleographic sources are examined to allow us to understand the distribution of indigenous societies. Early hunting tools are illustrated also 'Finds'from the Bluefish Caves together with an overview of the more recent Woodland period in Manitoba. Paleography is observed by linguistic comparisons of the Dene and Chipweyan languages and an interesting comparison of Chipweyan to Apache reflecting an archaic movement south over the centuries (as did the Navajo) from Northwestern Canada.
