CLOVIS — THE CARIBOU HUNTERS transports us 12,000 years back in time in the tundra to discover the lifestyle of the first nomads to have roamed the south-east of Canada. Then, it brings us back to present time, with the archaeologists who discovered and interpreted the clues of the passage of these first occupants. A great archaeological adventure for kids and families!
