Who We Are
This chapter introduces Canada's peoples, founding groups, and official languages.
Founding Peoples
Discover Canada identifies three founding peoples: Aboriginal (Indigenous), French, and British. Aboriginal peoples include three main groups: First Nations, the Inuit, and the Metis, whose histories stretch back long before European settlement.
Official Languages
English and French are the two official languages of Canada and are an important part of the country's identity. This bilingual heritage reflects the historic roles of both the British and the French in Canada's development.
