 Original Canadians -- and Newcomers to 1663 - Canadian Heritage
Canada's native peoples may have begun as immigrants from Asia in the far-distant past.
They mainly occupied the St. Lawrence Lowlands-Lower Great Lakes region in Canada, a narrow southern confine compared to the vast areas beyond it known to Algonquians and other language groups; but a moderate and considerably favoured region, as we have seen, which could support a sizeable native population in itself.
Moreover, the evidence is there that native societies in Canada were still growing along their own cultural paths -- certainly including the rising Iroquois and Huron confederacies -- until the intervention of European power changed those paths forever.

Although fishermen and whalers occasionally wintered over, and fur traders established trading posts in the St. Lawrence Valley, there were no permanent European settlements in North America until the early 1600s.
For a brief period, Acadia was lost to the English, but by the 1630s, it was established as a French colony to counterbalance the British presence in New England.
Many of the French colonists came from western France, a region that is environmentally similar to Acadia, so it is not surprising that their traditional agricultural methods were useful in farming the new land.
