History:Asiatic influnce

Inuit people were inhabiting the egions of Arctic

and Alaska, Greenland, many Canadian territores,

Quebec and the nothern part of Labrador.

Until fairly recent times, there has been a remarkable

homogeneity in the culture throughout these

areas, which have traditionally relied on fish,

sea mammals, and land animals for food, heat,

light, clothing, tools, and shelter. The Inuit and

the Eskimo people are related. First nhabitants came

from Asia to Alska and then spread up to Nothern

America. 25.000 bc.

is a registred contact. This new place they were

settled on is know as Vinland.

Feasts, Events

Canada is a rather new Country and most of the celebrations,

feasts ad ceremonies are related to modern subjects

as for example Celebration of Beer Drinking, Celebration

of Salmon, etc.

There are of course native old tradtional events as the

Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Confederacy Native American

Indian First Nation Dances and Songs. Enjoy the Native

Canadians dance and song. Enjoy them.

People

Like USA so in Canada most of the people are Europeans

but in Canada today you will find people from all countries.

Canadians and Americans enjoy a friendly relationship

based on geographic proximity, their shared status

as ex-colonies of Britain, and a longtime economic partnership.

The Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Ontario

and Québec are favorite weekend destinations for

Americans in the Northern states.

Canadian
National Anthem

O Canada!
Official Lyrics

(English)

O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. (French)

O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux.
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix.
Ton histoire est une épopée,
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
