How the First Nations people were Self-Sufficient

By: Corrina

The aboriginals of Canada were self-sufficient because they did not depend on other people to run their lifestyle. They would hunt their own animals, then they would make the skins into clothing and material for shelter.  They would butcher the meat themselves, using bones as tools.  They used every last bit of any animal they killed.  They lived in harmony with the land and new that it was theirs to use, not to own.  They respected every living thing.  When the Europeans came most aboriginals did NOT want anything to do with these new, different people.  They were confident with what they believed and how they lived.
