culture included permanent settlements,[10]
agriculture,[111 civic and ceremonial
architecture,[12] complex societal hierarchies
and trading networks.[13] The Metis culture of
mixed blood originated in the mid-17th century
when First Nation and Inuit people married
Europeans.[ 4] The Inuit had more limited
interaction with European settlers during that
early period,[15] Various laws, treaties, and
legislation have been enacted between
European immigrants and First Nations across
Canada. Aboriginal Right to Self-Government
provides opportunity to manage historical,
cultural, political, health care and economic
control aspects within first people's
communities.
As of the 2011 census, Aboriginal peoples in
Canada totaled 1,400,685 people, or 4.3% of the
national population, spread over 600 recognized
First Nations governments or bands with
distinctive cultures, languages, art, and music.
[1]116] National Aboriginal Day recognizes the
cultures and contributions of Aboriginal peoples
to the history of Canada,[17] First Nations, Inuit
and Metis peoples of all backgrounds have
become prominent figures and have served as
role models in the Aboriginal community and
help to shape the Canadian cultural identityll 8]

The terms First Peoples and First Nations are
both used to refer to indigenous peoples of
Canada.[ i 9] The terms First Peoples or
Aboriginal peoples in Canada are normally
broader terms than First Nations, as they
include Inuit, Metis and First Nations. First
Nations (most often used in the plural) has
come into general use for the indigenous
peoples of North America in Canada, and their
descendants, who are neither Inuit nor Metis. On
reserves, First Nations is being supplanted by
members of various nations referring to
themselves by their group or ethnical identity. In
conversation this would be "I am Haida", or "we
are Kwantlens", in recognition of their First
Nations ethnicities.[20] In this Act, "Aboriginal
peoples of Canada" includes the Indian, Inuit
and Metis peoples of Canada.[21]
Indian remains in place as the legal term used in
the Canadian Constitution. Its usage outside
such situations can be considered offensive.[7]
Aboriginal peoples is more commonly used to
describe all indigenous peoples of Canada.[22]
The term Aboriginal people is beginning to be
considered outdated and slowly being replaced
by the term Indigenous people.[2]

Indigenous peoples in Canada
Indigenous peoples in Canada,[2] also known as
Indigenous Canadians or Aboriginal Canadians,
are the indigenous peoples within the
boundaries of present-day Canada. They
comprise the First Nations,[3] Inuit[4] and Metes.
t5j Although "Indian" is a term still commonly
used in legal documents, the descriptors
"Indian" and "Eskimo" have somewhat fallen into
disuse in Canada and some consider them to be
pejorative.[6][7][8] Similarly, 'Aboriginal" as a
collective noun is a specific term of art used in
some legal documents, including the
Constitution Act 1982, though in some circles
that word is also falling into disfavour[9]
Old Crow Flats and Bluefish Caves are some of
the earliest known sites of human habitation in
Canada. The Paleo-Indian Clovis, Plano and Pre-
Dorset cultures pre-date current indigenous
peoples of the Americas. Projectile point tools,
spears, pottery, bangles, chisels and scrapers
mark archaeological sites, thus distinguishing
cultural periods, traditions and lithic reduction
styles.

Under letters patent from King Henry VII of
England, the Italian John Cabot became the first
European known to have landed in Canada after
the time of the Vikings,[331 Records indicate
that on 24 June 1497 he sighted land at a
northern location believed to be somewhere in
the Atlantic provincesj34] Official tradition
deemed the first landing site to be at Cape
Bonavista, Newfoundland, although other
locations are posstlej35] After 1497 Cabot and
his son Sebastian Cabot continued to make
other voyages to find the Northwest Passage,
and other explorers continued to sail out of
England to the New World, although the details
of these voyages are not well recorded.[36]
Based on the Treaty of Tordesillas, the Spanish
Crown claimed It had territorial rights in the area
visited by John Cabot in 1497 and 1498 CE.[37]
However, Portuguese explorers like Joao
Fernandes Lavrador would continue to visited
the north Atlantic coast, which accounts for the
appearance of "Labrador" on topographical
maps of the period j38] In 1501 and 1502 the
Corte-Real brothers explored Newfoundland
(Terra Nova) and Labrador claiming these lands
as part of the Portuguese Empire,[38][39] In
1506, King Manuel I of Portugal created taxes
for the cod fisheries in Newfoundland waters.
[40] Joao Alvares Fagundes and Pero de
Barcelos established fishing outposts in
Newfoundland and Nova Scotia around 1521
CE; however, these were later abandoned, with
the Portuguese colonizers focusing their efforts
   There are reports of contact made before the
1492 voyages of Christopher Columbus and the
age of discovery between First Nations, Inuit
and those from other continents. The Norse,
who had settled Greenland and Iceland, arrived
around the year 1000 and built a small
settlement at LAnse aux Meadows at the
northernmost tip of Newfoundland (carbon
dating estimate 990 — 1050 CE)[31] LAnse aux
Meadows is also notable for its connection with
the attempted colony of Vinland established by
Leif Erikson around the same period or, more
broadly, with Norse exploration of the Americas.
