Canadian people are not all the same. There are many different groups. They came to Canada at different times. They came from different places. Many of them still live indifferent ways.
Long ago, only native Americans lived in Canada. They arrived thousands of years ago. Today there are about fifty different American groups.
The Eskimos (愛斯基摩人)came after the native Americans did. They have also been in Canada for a long, long time. Most Eskimos live in the north of Canada today, where it is very cold.
The European settlers started arriving about 450 years ago. Most came from France. They are a large group in Canada today. They follow French customs and ways of life. They speak the French language. Later, most settlers came from England and Scotland. They speak English. Today more than half of all the Canadians speak English.
Some Canadians also came from Germany and Italy. There are smaller groups from other places, too.
You can see that different kinds of people are called Canadians. Many do not want to forget their own customs and languages. But they share a large country. They share a future in that country. They are all Canadians.
