CANADA – A LAND OF DIVERSITY
A Multicultural Identity
Although many Canadians’ first language is English or French, many other languages are
spoken: Italian, Chinese, German, Polish, Ukrainian, Dutch and Greek. There are many
native languages such as Algonquian.
The French-speaking province of Canada is very different culturally. Since the 1960s
there has been a strong “separatist” movement.
There are many different native peoples throughout Canada like the Crees, Mohawks,
Iroquois and Sioux. In the north of the country, the Inuit (Eskimos) now have a selfgoverning homeland called Nunavut (meaning “Our Land”). It is over two million sq km
and is inhabited by 17,500 Inuits.
Canada is one of the most tolerant societies in the world. For example, only 13% of
Canadians say that they would object to their children marrying somebody of a different
race (compared with 32% in the USA).

CANADIAN INDIANS
A.)
The Inuit people lived in the Arctic region. They lived in small groups that moved
around to search for food. Their houses were tents made of sealskin in the summer, and
snowhouses (called igloos) in the winter. As well as catching fish, they hunted seals,
caribou and whales for food, which were usually eaten raw because there wasn’t any
firewood for cooking. Sealskin and fur were used for clothing. Skins were also used for
making canoes.
B.)
The tribes of the Subarctic area lived near lakes or in forests. The Chippewa, one of the
largest of these tribes, lived around the shores of Lake Superior. They hunted deer in the
forests, fished in the lake and gathered wild rice and berries. They lived in bark lodges in
winter and in bark tepees in summer. They also used bark to make canoes and baskets.
They hunted with bows and arrows.
C.)
The Iroquois, a large group in the Northeast, lived in permanent villages with tall fences
around them. The men hunted and fished, while the women grew corn and beans and
collected nuts and berries. They lived in long houses made of a frame of poles covered
with bark. They used deerskin to make their clothes, and strings of shells as money.
