First Peoples: A Guide for Newcomers

This guide for newcomers to Canada, prepared by the city of Vancouver, attempts to introduce newcomers in simple language to the First Peoples in Canada and their relationship with Canadian government, while also presenting ways to learn more about First Nations people in Vancouver specifically.  It is written with the assumption that newcomers have limited opportunities to meet Indigenous people, and thus have limited awareness of their diverse culture and history.  It provides hyperlinks to many useful online resources which could supplement a classroom unit on First Nations peoples or assist a student with an independent study project.
