What do you currently know about Indigenous Peoples as you begin

this course?

Indigenous people lived in Canada before the given name of Canada by St.
Lawrence Iroquoian. The name Canada came from word of Kanata which meaning
is village or settlement.

In my research about indigenous people, I find that there are six geographical
areas exist in this country nowdays 1) Woodland first nation 2)Iroquoian first
nations 3)Plateau first nations 4) Pacific coast first nations 5) Plains first nation 6)
First nation of the Mackenzie and Yukon river basins. All six groups are totally
different from each other by traditional, rituals, food and many other things.

These group lived with each others in the group of less than four hundred people.
Some Indigenous people was not stay at the one place much time they change
their accommodation so that’s why first nation of woodland, plains and
Mackenzie and Yukon river basins they made their houses by wood stick they set
the stick and covered that sticks with the bark and woven woven rush mates.
Their foods depend on the weathers. They mostly depend on plant, meat and
crops. Indigenous people can speak around 5000 different kind of languages
however nowdays that languages are near to verge of extinction

Moreover, day by day, the number of indigenous people are decreased and now
population of these people are very few in the Canada. So I can say that only
things that we respect the indigenous people because they contribute lots of to
built Canada.
