The next major european explorer to return there is samuel de champlain in. Iroquois we can only know a certain amount of information about them because of the sources available: pre-contact occupation of montreal, cultural chronology of the st. lawrence valley. See powerpoint slide: contact period: 1500-1650. Initial settlement: prior to 2500bc: tools left behind by what is thought to be the lomoka tribe. Made of stone from mount royal: assumption that lomoka were not meat-eaters few bones found; thoughts that animals may have been sacred. Allowed them to be less dependent on the hunt; in the past, winter communities broke up in the winter and become nomadic hunting groups & often leaving the area. In the summer: communities would settle on shores of major waterways and fish.
