WHO WAS the first human being to see the forests and plains that we call Canada?
If you had put this question to any museum guide in the early 1920’s, he would have answered, “Some early Indian about the time of Christ.”
Then one day in 1924 a young man hunting for Indian arrowheads near the town of Mortlach, Sask., picked up a flint point different from any in his collection; two years later a Negro cowboy in New Mexico discovered a similar flint among a half-buried heap of bones.
