There were people on Canada before the Europeans trust me OK, it is a proven fact, I know it is shocking but this is true. There is a ridiculous amount of people that thought it was a barren place. As far as science is concerned both of these are wrong. There has been much speculation to all of this, but there are a few clear and residing facts.
The Aboriginal Canadian Traditions suggest that the indigenous people of Canada have been around since there was a beginning of time, although this is not very likely, and evidence to support this is practically non existent. It was debatable about where they came from until evidence threw up some more questions about their origination. It has now been proven that more than 25,000 years ago there was in fact human life here. If you want to know where the earliest humans in the world were, this could even be a good place to start.
The main problem with this is that at some point this was all going to come crashing down to an unprecedented end. Then the aborigines found themselves in a bit of trouble. The Vikings slaughtered many of them and then the leading tribes were overrun by smaller ones. As things carried on the Europeans started to arrive in the late 1400’s which resulted in the imminent destruction of the Canadian Aborigines. They were subjected to many of the diseases that the Europeans brought over, not on purpose simply because the Canadians could not cope with these infections and diseases. The problem is that all of this disease and infection destroyed almost the entire population.
So although there were aborigines alive here thousands of years ago, do they actually contribute to the population at all? There were so few Canadian Aborigines left alive that if any had offspring, it would be so far down the line in ancestry, that telling someone apart from another Canadian would be close to impossible. So what are the Canadians, quite simply they are descendants of Europeans.
