Abstract

Over the past ten years, a series ofburials {n= 1 0) have been salvaged from the banks of the Winnipeg River in eastern Manitoba. These come from the Slave Falls, River Mouth, and Whaley sites. Although direct artifact associations are sparse, nearby sites contain artifacts from the Middle to Late Woodland and the contact periods. Comparative canonical analysis of the crania suggests that they can all be assigned to the Saulteauxlndians (Ojibwa). It is suggested that the Winnipeg River sites, both with human remains and without, reflect the activities of the Saulteaux before and during the active period of the historic sites of Fort au bas de Ia Riviere and Fort Alexander
