first inhabitants of Canada were native Indian peoples, primarily
the Inuit (Eskimo).
Canada is a country of 33 million inhabitants that occupies the northern area of the North American continent, and is the world's second largest country in area. Inhabited for millennia by First Nations (Aboriginal peoples), Canada has evolved from a group of European colonies into a bilingual (English and French), multicultural, having peacefully obtained sovereignty from its last colonial possessor, the United Kingdom. France sent the first large group of settlers in the 17th century,
but Canada came to be dominated by the British until the country
attained independence in the 20th century.
