Contact History of Canada Thousands of years ago Aboriginal people are believed to have crossed a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska into North America, some settling in Canada. European settlers arrived for the first time in Canada probably around 1000 years ago when Icelandic Norsemen settled for a short period in Newfoundland. This would have been the first meeting of Europeans and the Native Americans. When European exploration of North America began, the French and British entered Canada by way of water inlets such as the French along the St. Lawrence River and the British through Hudson Bay. Some of the most well known explorers of these areas include Cabot, Cartier and Champlain. The French settled in Canada in the early 1600s establishing a strong economy based on fur trade and heavily dependent on France for military and political direction and protection. Quebec City fell to the British and France signed over all land in 1759 with the exception of the islands of St. Peirre and Miquelon off the coast of Newfoundland.

Pre-Confederation This is an outline of the history of Canada up until Confederation in 1867. The First Nations At around 10,000 BC, the first people entered what is now Canada, having travelled over the Bering Strait. These First Nations, as they are called in Canada, spread over all of Canada, adapting themselves to the various surroundings. Peoples varied from the Cree in northern Quebec, to the Haida and Salish on the Pacific coast, to the Iroquois in the Saint Lawrence River valley, to the Beothuks in Newfoundland.

Government Nunavut: History and People History Nunavut has been occupied continuously for more than 4,000 years. Historians have identified the Baffin coast with Norse sagas, however recorded history began in 1576 when Martin Frobisher, on an expedition in search of the fabled Northwest Passage, discovered what he thought was gold on Baffin Island. The ore was worthless and Frobisher's encounters with the Inuit were not friendly. He seized four Inuit in 1576 and 1577 and took them to England where they quickly died. In 1585, John Davis, also in search of the Northwest Passage, explored Cumberland Sound. Henry Hudson followed in 1610. The Arctic Islands were transferred from Britain to Canada in 1880. In 1903 an official expedition visited the High Arctic and Cumberland Sound exerting Canadian sovereignty. Between 1906 and 1911 the Canadian government dispatched three official voyages to the High Arctic, to show the flag and collect Customs duties from whalers. The Second World War and the Cold War opened the Canadian Arctic. The United States Air Force built an airfield at Frobisher Bay, now Iqaluit, to handle aircraft transporting war materials to Europe. In 1955 construction began on the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line, a joint project of Canada and the United States to create an early-warning radar chain to warn of any Soviet incursions.

FLOE EDGE WHALES BIRDING HOME PAGE ... MORE INFO NUNAVUT The Inuit (which simply means "the people") and their ancestors have lived in Arctic Canada for more than 4,000 years. For thousands of years Inuit have lived off the land, travelling year-round in search of wildlife including caribou, seal, fish, birds, walruses and whales. Nunavut, which translates to "our land", becomes Canada's newest territory in 1999. It stretches some 1.9 million square kilometres in the north covering nearly one-fifth the size of Canada. The territory includes three regions: Baffin, Kitikmeot and Keewatin. The history of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement began in 1976, when Inuit Tapirisat of Canada (ITC) presented the Canadian government with a land claim proposal that would effectively split the Northwest Territories along the tree line. In 1993, after years of negotiations the Inuit, the Canadian government and the government of the Northwest Territories signed an agreement that is the largest Aboriginal land claim settlement in Canada's history. At the same time, legislation was passed that will lead to the creation of a new territory called Nunavut on April 1, 1999. Efforts are well under way to create the infrastructure for the new public government that will serve both Inuit and non-Inuit. Iqaluit , the largest community in Nunavut (population 3,800) was named the capital of the new territory, through a public plebiscite held in 1995. The land claim includes some 41 articles relating to the territory. Here are a few of the highlights:

A Guide to Iqaluit, Nunavut The topography in the area consists of gently rolling, treeless hills, and there are a wide variety of things to do for both visitors and residents. There are several ancient Thule ruins nearby, and Qaummaarviit Territorial Park, just offshore, offers great hiking and photography opportunities as well. In the city, high-quality regional arts and crafts are available in several shops. The first Europeans ( qallunaat to the Inuit) into Frobisher Bay were the crew of Martin Frobisher's ship Gabriel , in August 1576. The bay was a disappointment, though, as they were seeking the Northwest Passage, the mythical northern shortcut to Asia. No Europeans settled in the bay until 1914, when a trading post was established to tap the riches of Baffin Island. It was World War II that eventually brought modern development to the bay. In 1941, a weather station, code-named Crystal II, was built by the US Air Force to assist in trans-Atlantic flight planning. A large air base was built by the United States the following summer, to refuel aircraft headed for Europe - after the war, Canada purchased it for $6.8 million. Frobisher Bay was an important location all through the Cold War as well, from the construction of the first radar station in 1953, to the official closure of the Canadian Air Command detachment on December 1, 1983. In 1987, its strategic importance was again recognized when it was designated as one of five Forward Operating Locations for the new CF-18 fighter jets.

Carved entirely out of the Northwest Territories, Nunavut covers 2 million square kilometres, or approximately one-fifth of Canada’s surface. Although the Northwest Territories has been reduced several times in the course of Canadian history, this most recent boundary change is unique in that it is the result of an initiative by the Aboriginal inhabitants of the Territory.

60. Robert Fulford's Column About Canadian History as the Supreme Court of canada ruling on secession, nunavut and the Nisga the wheel That s why we re paralyzed about teaching or portraying Canadian history. http://www.robertfulford.com/CanadianHistory.html

Robert Fulford's column about Canadian history Globe and Mail , May 22, 1999) The champions of Canadian history have lately moved to a new level of rhetoric. They are beginning to sound like those movie critics, natural-born cheerleaders, who try to catch the public's attention by discovering a new masterpiece every week or so. History's friends are making claims for the Canadian past that it can never begin to support. Their motives are clear: They speak out of patriotism, out of love for their subject and out of anger at those who fail to share their views. They are also, understandably, justifying personal career choices and appealing for financial support. But they run the danger of making themselves, and the study of Canadian history, ridiculous. Two who have lately moved in this direction are Mark Starowicz, of CBC television, and J. L. Granatstein, the historian. Starowicz, who has been preparing a series of historical documentaries, noted in a speech in Montreal early this year (reprinted in The Globe on Feb. 6) that the Canadian Constitution is still evolving, through such events as the Supreme Court of Canada ruling on secession, Nunavut and the Nisga'a treaty. He then went on to perform the equivalent, in Canadian studies, of reinventing the wheel: "That's why we're paralyzed about teaching or portraying Canadian history. Not because it's boring: Because it's alive! Because it's alive, we'd better not go into those dark woods. Everything is still in play."
