The Native Peoples of North America (also known as American Indians, Native Americans, Indigenous Americans, and First Americans) are the original inhabitants of North America believed to have migrated into the region between 40,000-14,000 years ago, developing into separate nations with distinct and sophisticated cultures. These autonomous nations spread from Alaska, through Canada, and the lower United States.

The earliest periods of migration, settlement, and development are defined by archaeological evidence (spearheads, tools, monumental structures) from sites throughout North America and are most often referred to by the following terms:

  • Paleoindian-Clovis Culture – c. 40,000 to c. 14,000 BCE

  • Dalton-Folsom Culture – c. 8500-7900 BCE

  • Archaic Period – c. 8000-1000 BCE

  • Woodland Period – c. 500 BCE to c. 1100 CE

  • Mississippian Culture – c. 1100-1540 CE

we commemorate National Indigenous History Month to recognize the history, heritage and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada. We have compiled a list of resources, readings and events below for you to learn about, appreciate and acknowledge Indigenous communities in Canada.

We will be updating this list throughout the month with more resources.
