Abstract

Canada is a land of immigrants. All Canadians, with the exception of Canada’s indigenous peoples, entered this nation from other countries. Immigration has produced a culturally and racially diverse population. This diversity was officially recognized with the implementation of the Multiculturalism Act in 1988. However, when we speak of “multiculturalism” in Canada we generally refer to those who originated, or whose ancestors originated, outside our national borders. Cultural diversity in Canada extends beyond the immigrant population into its indigenous population. There is often a misconception that Canada’s indigenous peoples are a homogeneous group – nothing could be further from the truth. This paper discusses the distinctive identities, vibrant cultures, and varying traditions of Canada’s indigenous peoples affiliated with 633 Indian bands and reside on more than 2,000 reserves across Canada. 1 It also offers insight into a variety of legal, social and cultural differences inherent between and with Canada’s indigenous groups.
