Before the arrival of Europeans, First Nations in what is now Canada were able to satisfy all of their material and spiritual needs through the resources of the natural world around them. For the purposes of studying traditional First Nations cultures, historians have therefore tended to group First Nations in Canada according to the six main geographic areas of the country as it exists today.
Within each of these six areas, First Nations had very similar cultures, largely shaped by a common environment.
The six groups were: Woodland First Nations, who lived in dense boreal forest in the eastern part of the country; Iroquoian First Nations, who inhabited the southernmost area, a fertile land suitable for planting corn, beans and squash; Plains First Nations, who lived on the grasslands of the Prairies; Plateau First Nations, whose geography ranged from semi-desert conditions in the south to high mountains and dense forest in the north; Pacific Coast First Nations, who had access to abundant salmon and shellfish and the gigantic red cedar for building huge houses; and the First Nations of the Mackenzie and Yukon River Basins, whose harsh environment consisted of dark forests, barren lands and the swampy terrain known as muskeg.

June 21. Another very interesting meeting!
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Eddie Woo. I enjoyed Eddie Woo very much. His outlook on math, geometry, and the importance of seeing patterns all around us. I also loved the Margaret Mead story as well as the story about Leah Creaser. All very inspirational. Love the format!
-- Nance MacLeod, Past Rotarian, Rotary Club of Hamilton AM, District 7090
Meetings topics - Italian Rotary members assist in Covid-19 vaccinations, first sign of Civilization, and Leah Creaser of Acadian First Nations at Acadian University. I enjoyed how the Italian Rotarians really expanded the number of volunteers for the Covid vaccinations, how Leah Creaser educates us about how plants were used for thousands of years by the natives, and the first sign of civilization definition was interesting and very true.

New members' corner
We are a collection of Rotarians and Rotaractors dedicated to supporting the family of Rotary and our communities face the challenge of dealing with family members and citizens that are afflicted with Alzheimer’s and/or dementia.
This challenge is very real. Some are calling it the “silver tsunami”—the wave of men and women living longer than previous generations. Yet our communities and nations are not ready to face the rising tide of those suffering from these diseases. Researchers predict that 6.7 million people in America alone will have Alzheimer’s alone. Today, one in eight older Americans have Alzheimer’s, and the risk of developing the brain disorder doubles every five years after age 65.
We have started this Rotarian Action Group to help address this challenge. Please visit our other pages on this site and the links to other organizations and resources that are on the front line of care, research, and education as we work to ready our communities to face this tsunami.
