There are three groups of aboriginal people in
Canada:
First Nations,
Inuits and
Mites. The first group are the people who live all across the country from east to west including
Cree people.
Inuits are the people who live far up north in
Canada and
Greenland.
Greenland belongs to
Denmark and is very close to
Canada in north. A few month ago, when I was in
Toronto, the two countries had an issue over a very small piece of rock(!) called
Hans island. The last categorized aboriginals are
Mites. These are people who their ancestors are
French fur trades and
English traders.
My buddy,
Al is a
Mete but got a
German family name,
Schumacher, meaning shoe-maker. He says his real names is something else and he changed it to
Al because didn't wanna get shot by Cowboys!
