This site is all about Quebec First Nations. On this site, you can read about an Algonquin community that developed maple sugaring long before the Europeans arrived. Today, the Kitigan Zibi community is using modern technology to sustain a large maple sugaring business. You can also read about a film house that is Inuit-owned. Taqramiut Productions Inc. (TPI) was started in 1996 and makes films about Aboriginal Canadians.
Have you ever gone back to a neighbourhood where you used to live and noticed the changes? This site shows you different pictures of Montreal scenes taken 100 years apart. When you move your cursor over each picture, you can also hear how the scene might sound if you were there. Places sound different after 100 years too!
