Aboriginal people of Canada

The aboriginal people of Canada are devided in three main groups, the First Nations (Aboriginals without regulars), Inuits and Métis.

Inuit

Inuits are people, living at the arctic part of Canada. An "Inuk" is an inuit person. They're speaking a special inuit-language that is part of the Eskimo-Aleut languages. There're much problems about the Inuits being involved in the canadian culture, because of that there's a huge suicide rate. The Inuits are kind of isolated, their areas are overfished and the main problem is the popularity of hunting seal. Inuits are living from hunting them, they're making boots out of their skin and they use their meat for cooking, it's something natural and normal for them. If there's less seal, if they get hunted more and more from Canadians who are just hunting for selling them, it'll be a huge problem.

Métis

Métis are kown in Canada since 1982. They're descendants from european salsemen and Cree, Aninshinbabe or Saulteaux (Natives). Backwards they also had their own language but today they're speaking english.

First Nations

First Nations are including all native groups instead Métis and Inuits, they're more than 600.000 people. There're about 53-70 different languagues included in the First Nations families.
