Native Canadian

From the Native Canadian website: "The First Nations of Canada constitute a greater majority of the total population than do their American brothers and sisters. With a total Aboriginal population near 1 million out of a total population of close to 30 million, roughly 1 out of every 30 Canadians is from the First Nations.

"In the States, with a Native population of some 2 million out of a general population of 300 million, the ratio is approximately 1 Native to 150 non-Natives."

News, articles, links and resources by, about and for Native Canadians can be found at the link above.
