Answer 2

The original inhabitants of Canada are the Inuit and the Aboriginals. In the United States, the Inuit are often called Eskimo and the Aboriginals are called American Indians or Native Americans. Another group is called the Metis. They are descendants of the Aboriginals and people of European descent, especially French. The Aboriginals had been treated harshly by later settlers and the government, including attempts to eliminate native cultures. The government of Canada recognized that it had mistreated the original inhabitants and in 1998 issued an official apology, called the Statement of Reconciliation.
