Inuit History
Until recently, outsiders called the Inuit "Eskimo." Now they prefer their own term, "Inuit," meaning simply "people." There are about 40,000 Inuit in Canada. Here is an overview of their history, from their origins to the creation of Nunavut.

Vinland
The country named "Vinland" began to be mentioned by European scholars
almost 1000 years ago. Today we know enough about this land to sketch its
general location on a map, and reconstruct the historical events leading up
to the discovery and naming of "Vinland" by Norse explorers from Iceland and
Greenland.

Whatzit
Discover interesting facts about six artifacts that were used in British Columbia in the past: spindle whorls, bark shredders, slate mirrors, whatzits, segmented stones and artist's dishes. Some are similar to items that were used in the recent past or are still in use today, while others remain mysteries to today's researchers.

Aboriginal Fishing
Fishing was a year-round activity for Aboriginal peoples. Historically, Maritime peoples followed seasonal patterns that were often tied to the availability of specific fish.
