Segment 3: The First People of Manitoba
Diversity has always existed here. Aboriginal people were the first inhabitants of the land known today as Manitoba. First Nations, Métis and Inuit developed unique languages, cultures and spiritual beliefs. However, reserves and residential schools changed Aboriginal culture and ways of life. Although faced with challenges, Aboriginal people today are celebrating their culture and re-defining their role in society.
