Críticas:

"Contains the kind of information that should be required reading for all schoolchildren." --Rover Arts "This historical depiction of how Aboriginal Culture and ways of existing impacted mainstream society is incredible. The recognition of how sophisticated in methodologies Aboriginal peoples were before contact is exceptional. This book seeks to give empowerment to our people in a way that has needed to be said." --Native Canadian, Monthly Newspaper of the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto "A fascinating book!" --Le Soleil (Quebec City) "The book is filled with little gems throughout . . . a great reference for research. A nice addition to any library or school." --Eastern Door (Kahnawake Mohawk Nation) "Authors K the Roth and Denis Vaugeois have put together a fascinating compendium of English words that owe their etymological origins to native languages of the Americas. But [this book] does more . . . It is a thought-provoking read that will be a valuable resource for students and scholars alike." --Montreal Review of Books

Reseña del editor:

Recalling the full significance of the contact made between Europe and the Americas, this book shows how the encounter of two ""old worlds"" gave rise to a truly new world on both sides of the Atlantic. From astronomy to food, the history shows how America began transforming Europe the moment European explorers set foot on American soil. Featuring an alphabetical glossary to connect the particular to the universal, the book reveals the vast contributions the Americas and their original inhabitants made to the world.
