In 1497, Newfoundland was inhabited by Indigenous peoples, primarily the Beothuk and the Mi'kmaq. These groups had established communities and cultures long before European exploration. The arrival of John Cabot, an Italian explorer sailing under an English flag, marked the first known European contact with the region, but it was the Indigenous populations who were the original inhabitants.
