Forests have always been a source of life
and survival for all people, since the firsts humans arrived on
this land that is now Canada. For some people, the forests
bring spiritual well-being; for others, they provide daily necessary
materials. Forests give shelter and food. They are also a source
of income and leisure.
The two maps in this theme compare the location of the forests in relation to the population total
distribution of Canada in 1996, and specifically the relationship to the distribution of the Aboriginal
population.
