Native Americans lived in Canada
for thousands of years. In the
early 1600s, colonists from Britain
and France began to settle in
eastern Canada, along the St.
Lawrence River. Canada proved to
be an excellent spot for trapping
and trading of furs. In the 1800s,
settlers began to push west. Most
of the native Americans were
displaced by the Europeans.
