Indeginous Canadians
by aiden and charlotte
Economic Life
The indigenous people would hunt down rivers and fish in shallow water. In many Northwest Coast Indigenous nations, the potlatch is a sacred ceremony used to redistribute wealth. Discussions about the economic conditions of Indigenous peoples often suggest similar experiences and outcomes. However, there is great historical and contemporary diversity in the economic activities of people in Indigenous communities. Moreover, these economic conditions have occurred, and continue to occur, within the context of colonization, social exclusion, and political and economic marginalization.

Perspective
People's perspective on first Nations, depended on many factors. The factors were about their beliefs and hopes. What's most important about the factors is more people's idea. Lot's of Europe settlers believed that the railway would help transportation, and didn't realize the way they cleared the land. On Indigenous perspective is that they were probably mad, they were mad because they were forced off their own land.
health
some of the health problems faced by indigenous migrant people are poor nutrition, a lack of access to medical services and a lack of health programs with an special focus, leading to greater incidences of preventable diseases.
Family life
Inuit methods of raising children differ considerably from those in Southern Canada. To the outside observer, Inuit children enjoy a substantial amount of freedom, as indicated by the fact that when not in school, children stay up much later than southern children, are often fed when they are hungry and not according to a set meal schedule, and are disciplined in a different manner by their parents. To the uninformed observer, Inuit parents may appear indifferent or overly lax with their children, though this misconception is largely due to cultural differences.

First nations people on the prairies/history
Around 35 000 years ago first nations lived on prairies in the 1867. They moved around a lot to gather resources. They hunted buffalo herds so they could feed their families. In their culture they didn't believe someone could own the land and it was a free place. The government wanted the first nations to live like them the settlers, they wanted the first nations to live on a farm and stay on it. One of the reason they wanted to move the first nations, is because they wanted to make a rail way
