Various indigenous First Nations settled in Canada thousands of years ago, well before the arrival of any Europeans. The first known Europeans to settle in Canada were Vikings, who built at least one settlement in Newfoundland around the year 1000. The next Europeans to settle in Canada were the French, in 1541.
