The Indigenous people of Canada are the people whose families have lived in Canada for thousands of years. Their families were here many years before people arrived from Europe. Indigenous means \u201cborn of this land\u201d. Usually, we write Indigenous with a big I.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The Indigenous people of Canada include the people who used to be called \u201cIndians\u201d and \u201cEskimos\u201d. But we don\u2019t use those word for them now. We call them First Nations and Inuit. Another group of Indigenous people is the M\u00e9tis.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Ontario, has many different groups of Indigenous people, including Anishinaabe people, Iroquois people, and Wyandot people.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

In Canada, almost 1.5 million people are Indigenous, which is about 5% of all the people of Canada.[1]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> In Ontario, close to 400,000 people are Indigenous, which is about 3% of all the people of Ontario. The Six Nations of the Grand River is the largest Indigenous community in Canada, and it\u2019s in Ontario. But Indigenous people don\u2019t just live in Indigenous communities. They also live in many Canadian cities, towns, and other communities.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

These people are Indigenous, and so are these people.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

And so are these people.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
