For more than fifty years archaeologists in southern Ontario have been identifying animal bones from archaeological sites; many of the Indigenous sites are the villages and camps of Wendat ancestors. Our team looks at the relationship between Indigenous ancestors and animal species such as passenger pigeon and Atlantic salmon by using data that have been collected by multiple past researchers. We map the presence and abundance of different species through time, considering how and why there are changes in species distributions.
