Now in Canada, the population of Aboriginals is about 790 thousand, their population increases about twice the speed of the national average.  And there are 3 types of Aboriginals in Canada.  First Nation, Inuit, and Metis.

Although these 3 groups are unique to each other, what is common about them is they have a deep spiritual relation with land and living things, and they strongly request for a right to have a location in Canadian society.  They are contributing to Canada through their beliefs.  You know, the variety of Aboriginals’ artistry and cultures; such like the small fang which are made of Inuit, a tall totem pole of first Nations, and complex patterned knitting and bread work, their own songs, etc, all of these enrich Canada.   It is not only in these fields that Aboriginals contribute to Canada, but they also fought for Canada and have died in history.  A lot of veterans were decorated as a war hero.  Actually, the ratio of the Aboriginals who went to the war when Canada entered the war is higher than that of other groups.

Now, Canadians have a lot of laws, and associations to protect their culture and rights.  The Canadian government and the nations make effort to better improve the connection with Aboriginals.
