Blanc-Sablon

For nearly nine thousand years, Aboriginal peoples were drawn to Blanc-Sablon's abundant shoreline resources. Research conducted on more than sixty archaeological sites along the western bank of the Blanc-Sablon River reveals settlement and subsistence patterns that gradually changed over time. The quantity and diversity of the wildlife remains found there testify to the importance of coastal resources, particularly seals, to the diet of the area's inhabitants. A rich trove of archaeological evidence, Blanc-Sablon stands as a witness to the evolution of Aboriginal societies on the Quebec-Labrador Peninsula.
