A Vanished People by Ingeborg Marshall is a concise, accessible history of the Beothuk, combining narrative and ethnography to reconstruct the life, culture and tragic disappearance of Newfoundland’s Indigenous “Red Indians.” Drawing on historical records, archaeological evidence and earlier scholarly work, Marshall describes Beothuk housing, clothing, hunting methods, arts and social life, and shows how European encroachment and violence led to the destruction of this small coastal people.
