If all Canadians who have been here generations are settlers, then so must be the Aboriginal population who at one time settled here from another continent.  Or is there some magic number of generations that makes you a non settler?  I was born here, my parents were born here, my grandparents were born here, some of their parents were born here but all come from different countries and cultures prior to that.  Where would I belong if not Canada?  My adopted brother had an Aboriginal mother and white father, does he belong or only half belong, maybe he is a half-settler?
