Historical geography of canada: three influential events that have shaped canada"s history, first people. The arrival of the first people in north america. The colonization of north america by france and england. Hunters from the old world (the eastern hemisphere) were the first to arrive about. They crossed the bering land bridge from siberia to alaska and then continued eastward. The land bridge was accessible at the time because sea level was much lower than it is today. The first people of canada: as the continental ice in north america began retreating, descendants of the hunters pushed, they travelled along an ice-free corridor that developed along the foothills of the rocky further south. The first people: they commonly hunted mammoths with pointed spears, as mammoths became extinct, the first people began shifting to a diet mixed with meat (buffalo and caribou), fish, and plants.
