	History of Canada and its Canadian Heritage
		Canada the New France: Canada was probably visited by the Norsemen about the year 1000, and John Cabot, sailing for the English Crown, landed somewhere on the coast in 1497.

		This is the story of Canada for the new millennium, one that draws on solid scholarship and presents the human drama and excitement of days gone by, one that makes past times memorable.

		The presence of the ice, which for a time virtually covered Canada, makes it reasonable to assume that the southern reaches of North America were settled before Canada, and that the Inuit (Eskimo) who live in Canada's Arctic regions today were the last of the aboriginal peoples to reach Canada.
		Although there are no written records detailing the history of American Indian society prior to the first contact with Europeans, archaeological evidence and oral traditions give a reasonably complete picture of the pre-contact period.
		The one characteristic virtually all the groups in precontact Canada shared was that they were self-governing and politically independent.
