Call me clueless, but I thought Aborigines were from Australia.

Aboriginal Day. The Aboriginal people of Canada are the first nations, comprised of Inuit (Eskimos) & Metis (Indians). I think there are around 1.5 million of them in Canada.

Aboriginal adj races of people,living creatures,etc belonging to,existing in,a region from earliest times,or from the time the region was first known.
n inhabitant,plant,ect of a region.
Aborigine n Australian person.
Is'nt English fun,Native American Indians could be described as being aboriginal,although Mitt Romney may consider otherwise,I could'nt possibly comment.
