We have just received the latest discussion paper from resident archaeologist, Laurie McLean. The Beothuk 2021 and Beyond looks into the research and discoveries that have shaped our limited understanding of the Beothuk people.
Newfoundland’s Beothuk people and their ancestors have a long legacy of contact with early European visitors to North America. Historical and archaeological research shows that this interaction was often unpredictable and sporadic. Not surprisingly, the Beothuk reaction to a massive European economic venture in Newfoundland, starting in the sixteenth century, was complex and non-linear. Continued research promises to add additional sub-plots to the main story line.
