The 1st Nations

Today I will be telling you some history of the first nations.

First nations are the first Canadians but when the Europeans came along they took over the Canada so when you see a white Canadian they are originally from Europe. Very sadly when the British empire came along if your town was over 8000 people they would tell you to get out of your town or work for them like a slave.

The children used to go to an Indian reservation boarding  school and if you talked your language then you would get 5 lashes on your wrist and a lot of the Indians died at early age because of how they were treated. The school tried to teach the Indians to be Christians because they believed that the Indians were like animals that needed to be trained.

Facts about the first nations:
First nation does not like to be called Indians now they like to be called first nations. First nations make all their boats and buildings out of wood. A cache pit was where they would store all their food at winter because they could not hunt as the snow was very heavy and they slept in a hut that was built underground. Their clothes were all made out of animal hide and they used the fur to keep warm in winter. They only ate what they needed and would move from place to place.
