I’m going to talk about the notion of spaces and exchanges. This notion deals with the geographical and symbolic areas that all societies occupy and the interactions between men and different societies. The different cultural, economic, sociological and language interactions have shaped and characterised our modern-day world. I would like to illustrate this notion through the theme Canada. With the process of globalization, people from all over the world established in this country and still contribute to create the multicultural side of Canada. Concentrations of different cultures in Canada have made inevitably changed native people's lives. We may answer the question : what do borders mean to the first nation people in Canada? In a first part, we are going to talk about the native people before white people's arrival and in a second part, the changes caused by white people's arrival.

The most easily recognizable categorie of indigenous inhabitants of Canada are «first nations» and « Inuits». The culture of Inuits is deeply rooted in the vast land they inhabit. They have an intimate knowledge of their land and they have used it to develop skills and technology adapted to one of the harshest environment in the world. They treat nature with respect and they use its resources in order to preserve the future generations. Indeed family is the center of Inuit culture, they want to protect their culture and their values. As we can see in the document « Citizenship ? » in this texte a woman claims her blackfoot’s nationality. For me, Inuits consider that borders do not exist.

Nevertheless, Inuit culture has been exposed to manies outside influence over the past century, that's what we are going to study in the second part.

So native people's way of life changed after the arrival of certain countries to Canada. First some Inuits were displaced by force most often to build military bases during the cold war as we can see in the document « Stop stealing our land ». In this document, we were able to see that permanent settlement was created in Artic, schools and health care centers were built by superpowers like the United States or the European countries. They take control of the land, they take over their land and all the resources. The Inuits don't stand a chance to resist to the world. Because of the melting of the ice from now on all of the ships can sail across Artic Region to exploit natural ressources. Moreover, there were experiences led on Inuits as we can see in an oral comprehension. Indeed, children were deprived of their family and sent to English-speaking families. Because of these experiences, these Inuits, cannot communicate any more and can't retie any more with traditions Inuits. For example, they are incapable to build an igloo or to go hunting and today, these grown-up Inuits demand gratitude of the damages from which they suffer.

To conclude, the Inuits consider that there are no borders between countries but these people were threatened for a long time by major powers during the cold war but they are still threatened on their territory for numerous resources today. But since a few years, some militate politically so that Inuits have their own territory.
