Canada

Canada: A Primary Source Cultural Guide offers a distinctive look at the nation and its heritage through the use of historic photographs, engravings, paintings, maps, and artifacts. Sakany isolates important ethnicities such as the indigenous Indian and Innuit populace, the metis (French-Indians), and those of British, French, or other European origin. The Innuit's struggle to establish Nunavut, which covers nearly a quarter of Canada's land area and was designated as the Innuit's homeland in 1999, is also discussed. An examination of Canadian myths and legends, folklore, national recipes, dance, and distinctive contributions to art and music complete this text.
