Homepage : Map of Life. ORBIS. Africa. Canada. Canada's original inhabitants originated in Asia; as they searched for food, people from that continent crossed the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia. Over an indefinite period of time, a wide variety of unique Indian cultures and nations developed and prospered across most of North America, including all of Canada. Convincing evidence exists that near the end of the 11th century, Leif Ericson, a seafaring Viking from Scandinavia, traversed the frigid waters of the North Atlantic Ocean and established a small settlement named Vinland along the coast of Newfoundland; it was eventually abandoned. Giovanni Caboto, an Italian navigator and explorer, known in English as John Cabot, landed along the northeastern shore of Canada in 1497, and immediately claimed the land for his patron, King Henry VII of England.
The Cabot discovery substantiated England's claim to a significant slice of North America.
