Aboriginals have inhabited the region of "Canada" as far back as historical records exist. From the first contact, Europeans have had a negative impact on Aboriginals. Disease and loss of land contributed to the rapidly declining number of Native peoples prior to the development of Canada. As opposed to the French influence, the English colonial culture was especially destructive. Aboriginals achieved some benefits by allying with the French.

After the American Revolution, the British acquired land treaties with Aboriginal nations to support their growing immigration to Canada. Today, Aboriginals are still fighting for their rights and…

The Metis Residential School experience was similar to the Aboriginal one; that of social exclusion and mental and physical abuse. The procedures that were created for the Métis in Residential Schools harshly exposed how bureaucrats felt about the social order of the Métis’ station in the New Canada. The Residential Schools took part in creating a lower class structure for the Métis, which separated them even further from their First…

The term Blackfoot is most likely coined due to the practice of coloring their moccasins with ashes. The three groups got together only during ceremonies. The Blackfoot were known as one of the most aggressive groups in North America because when they fought, it was typically raiding enemies for horses or just getting revenge. Their homes were usually made out of bison hide which was supported by poles. During the summer, they lived in big camps where they engaged in activities such as the Sun Dance. In the winter they separated into groups of of 10-20 families. There were multiple leaders, but only one…
Multiculturalism is the understanding and learning about the different cultures that make up a particular society. In fact, Canada is a multicultural country and it has many types of advantages.
