  1. Since the French came to Canada first, yes if you don't bother counting the Indians.


  2. Their origins are traced to a Latin word Mi'kmay translated Arcadia.  This was the name given to lands in part of French Colonial in N E America.  Quebec & New England.

  3. The Mi'k Maw were the original native or aboriginal inhabitants of Nova Scotia.

    The French established a settlement in what is now Granville Ferry, near Annapolis Royal, called Port Royal, in the early 1600's.  This group was not, however, known as the Acadians.  That name historically was associated with the settlers of the Annapolis Valley who were banished from the province by the English in the 1750's, essentially victims of the long-standing colonial tussle between the French and English over lands both overseas and in Europe.  But the French settlements in Nova Scotia (Port Royal and the Annapolis Valley, Louisbourg) and what became Prince Edward Island do pre-date the English settlements.

  4. no, native americans lived there

  5. Haha.  THe acadians/canadians, idk- i think inuits first inhabited nova scotia but i really don't know much about that area of canada.
