-There are currently over 1,400,600 Aboriginal Canadians, and their culture and traditions are still very much 'alive' today.

-Aboriginal people in Canada still have celebrations or gatherings called powwows.

-They have their own businesses in moccasins and mukluks as well as traditional dream catchers.

-Have you heard of Dakota Dunes Casino? That belongs to the Dakota people of Canada. They are one of the reserves that are doing very well.

-(Sad, and shameful, but true) Lots of the reserves the First Nations are on,
are in poor condition, most don't have proper shelter or water sources. (Believe it or not, not all of Canada has easy access to clean drinking water. Even some of the water here is naturally dirty, because there are no water filters to clean it)
