Three groups of people constitute Indigenous Peoples in
Canada, also called First
Peoples. Also called Aboriginal.
Native

1. First Nations -people in the south of
Canada
2. Inuit Eskimo – people
in the north of Canada
kids snack- Eskimo Pies– ice cream sandwiches
3. Métis – ‘mixed’ people who
are First Nations and European ancestry

Talk about
origin of the word ‘Indian’ due to geographical misunderstanding, West Indies
·
First Nations- Indigenous people in the South (below Arctic Circle).
Half of all First Nations bands are in Ontario and BC.
·
Inuit are the Indigenous people who live in the North.
Used to be called ‘Eskimo’- disparaging term from French Esquimaux, from
Montagnais ayas̆kimew ‘person who laces a snowshoe’. Montagnais, or Innu, are
the Indigenous inhabitants of an area they refer to as Nitassinan, which
comprises most of the northeastern portion of the present-day province of
Quebec and some eastern portions of Labrador.
Discredited etymology ‘raw fish eater’

Metis - French- do not pronounce the ‘s’ may-tee
-a person of mixed Indigenous and European ancestry
1600s and 1700s - Fur trading European men came to hunt
animals, like beavers
In particular one of a group of such people who in the 19th
century constituted the so-called Metis nation in the areas around the Red and
Saskatchewan rivers. Metis comes from the French word ‘métis’, which means ‘mixed’.

Talk about Raven
- prominent role in the mythologies of the
Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, including the Tsimishians,
Haidas, Heiltsuks, Tlingits, Kwakwaka'wakw, Coast Salish, Koyukons, and Inuit.
The raven in these indigenous peoples' mythology is the Creator of the world,
but it is also considered a trickster god.
-two different raven characters:
-the creator
raven, responsible for bringing the world into being and who is sometimes
considered to be the individual who brought light to the darkness
-the childish raven, always selfish, sly,
conniving, and hungry
The Beginning of the
Haida Gwaii World
In the beginning, before the
creation of the world, the earth was completely covered by a vast ocean and the
sky was all grey clouds. The cloud kingdom was ruled by the great Sha-lana.
Sha-lana's Chief servant was Raven.
One day Raven enraged his master
and was cast out into the ocean world. He flew over the ocean for a long period
of time until he became weary. Unable to find a place to rest, Raven became
angry. He began to beat his wings upon the water until the water rose up and
touched the clouds around him.
When the water receded back into
the ocean there appeared rocks upon which Raven rested. These rocks grew and
stretched across the ocean. The rocks turned into sand and after a short period
of time trees began to grow on the sand. After many moons the sand had turned
into beautiful islands, which we know today as the Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte
Islands).
Raven enjoyed his kingdom, yet he
became bored and lonely. He decided he needed someone to help him. So one day
he gathered two large piles of clam shells upon the beach and transformed them
into two human females. These two women complained saying that they should not
have both been created as women. So to make them happy Raven threw limpet
shells at one and turned her into a man, creating the Haida Gwaii people."
