Le terme Premières Nations, en date de 2013, fait référence aux quelques 617 communautés différentes, traditionnellement composées de groupes d'environ 400 personnes qui vivaient en Amérique bien avant le contact avec les Européens.
The Inuit
The term Inuit refers broadly to the Arctic indigenous population of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. Today, the Inuit communities of Canada live in the Inuit Nunangat—loosely defined as “Inuit homeland”—which is divided into four regions.
Les Inuits

The Invention of the “Indian”
One of the first acts of the European colonization of the Americas was an act of naming or, more accurately, misnaming.
L'invention de l'« Indien »
L'un des premiers gestes de la colonisation européenne des Amériques n'a pas été de voler les terres autochtones, mais bien l'attribution d'un nom et plus exactement l'attribution erronée d'un nom.
Colonization
When the European powers set their sights on North America, some three hundred years after the so-called discovery of the continent (which for them was the “New World”), it became a location for French and British settlements.
Colonisation
Lorsque les puissances européennes se sont tournées vers l'Amérique du Nord, environ 300 ans après la supposée découverte du continent (qui, pour eux, était le « Nouveau Monde »), cette région est devenue un lieu de colonisation pour les Français et les Britanniques.
