How would you survive in the Canadian shield?
The first people to live in the Canadian Shield were the first nations. 100% true. Answer: Athapaskan or Dene peoples (for instance, the Chipewyan) and the Algonquians (Naskapi, Ojibwa, Cree, Ottawa (Odawa), Algonquin, and Innu or Montagnais) lived in the forested areas of the Canadian Shield. These are only a few of the different first nations that lived in the Canadian Shield.

How does the Canadian shield affect it's population density?
The Canadian Shield is made up of mainly igneous and metamorphic rock. During the Glaciation period in Canada, around 15,000 years ago, some rock was eroded leaving a lower altitude for the shield. This helped the population growth as it is easier to forge children in a lower altitude. The further south in the shield you go the more chance you have to find people because of a higher temperature. This helps crop growth. In the northern area there is a more mountinous landscape this also hinders life there. The fact that people came thousands of years ago to live in the southern region also gives time for growth.

How many people speech french in the Canadian shield?
The Canadian Shield is a geographic formation in the north central, and slightly eastern area of Canada. If your question is actually how many people speak French and live on or near the Canadian Shield, there are a few, but not many. The majority of French speaking Canadians live either in the Province of Quebec, and the Province of Manitoba. While a reasonably sized chunk of the Shield does lay in Manitoba, it is not the portion of Manitoba that is largely French speaking. That being said, I am French Canadian, and I was born in a small town, right on top of the Canadian Shield :)
