Culture of Early Indigenous Peoples in Canada

The arrival of early Indigenous peoples in Canada has varying explanations both outside of and within the field of archaeology (see History of Early Indigenous Peoples in Canada). Many Indigenous Oral Traditions state that Indigenous peoples have been on the land that is now known as North America since time immemorial. There is a debate within the field of archaeology on the first arrival of early Indigenous peoples, with dates ranging from as recently as 12,000 years ago to as long ago as 130,000 years ago.

Patriation of the Constitution

In 1982, Canada “patriated” its Constitution. It transferred the country’s highest law, the British North America Act (which was renamed the Constitution Act, 1867), from the authority of the British Parliament to Canada’s federal and provincial legislatures. The Constitution was also updated with a new amending formula and a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. These changes occurred after a fierce, 18-month political and legal struggle that dominated headlines and the agendas of every government in the country.
