Changing Places cover

The community of Aboriginal groups developed at Porcupine-Iroquois Falls was displaced in the twentieth century by newcomers. This book rejects sociological and anthropological models about community and identity in favor of a more subtle interpretation. It examines the process by which a community emerged in the sub-region of Northern Ontario.How the people of Porcupine-Iroquois Falls came to define themselves as a community

"A brilliant integration of theory and historical fact, neatly steering between local historical trivia that is characteristic of many regional works and social scientific abstraction." Matt Bray, Laurentian University "I am impressed by the research and perceptive analyses that led Abel to construct a very comprehensive and convincing portrayal of life in The Porcupine." Toby Morantz, McGill University
