	Canada First
		Canada First, nationalist movement founded 1868 by Ontarians George DENISON, Henry Morgan, Charles MAIR and William FOSTER and by Robert Grant Haliburton, a Nova Scotian living in Ottawa.
		Inspired by the recently assassinated Thomas D'Arcy MCGEE and viewing CONFEDERATION as a political transaction among elites, Canada First sought to promote a sense of national purpose and to lay the intellectual foundations for Canadian nationality.
		The Canada Firsters were dedicated to Canadian independence from the US and to the British connection, but after Britain concluded the 1871 Treaty of WASHINGTON with the Americans, Canada First placed greater emphasis on Canadian autonomy and self-reliance, though the aim was some form of imperial federation, not separation from Britain.

	Canada's First Nations: Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In most First Nations, a council of elders advised the Chief, and decisions were made by consensus, which means that the council would discuss a matter of importance, and then would make a decision that the majority agreed on.
		First Nations people were taught, from the time they were very young, to respect and give thanks to the animals, birds, plants, and the land and water that gave them all the things that they depended on to stay alive.
		First Peoples' creation stories often contain references to specific landmarks, such as mountains or lakes, that give us good information about the areas that a group of people lived in, and the routes they followed as they migrated over the centuries to the areas they now live in.

		While starspots have been observed before and differential rotation has been inferred in other stars, Gordon Walker explains: "We are the first to have simultaneously tracked several pairs of starspots leading to an unambiguous view of the rotation pattern in another star like the Sun.

	Canada's first Ukrainian saint: When loyalties collide
		Just prior to Canada's entry into the First World War, Budka, wrote a missive letter to his Canada-wide Ukrainian flock asking any who owed military service to the Emperor to make every effort to return home to fulfill their obligations.
		A few days later, Canada did enter the war and Bishop Budka hurriedly penned another missive letter asking his Ukrainian flock to disregard the first one and be loyal citizens to Canada.
		That Canada's Catholics would welcome Budka into their own Roman Rite choir of saints as the first non-English, non-French or non-Native member speaks well to the health of Canadian multiculturalism and religious pluralism.

		Cree is a PC name, it's the name that the Cree use to refer to themselves.
		The fact is that the Metis Nation emerged not before the 17th or 18th ct., as thus cannot be considered as "first".
