There
are eleven nations in Québec, representing close to 75,000
individuals and 55 communities dotted around the province.
Some of them are located far from the
major urban centres and have only a few hundred inhabitants,
while others are small towns with a few thousand residents, sometimes
located near large cities like Montréal and Québec
City. Nine Native languages are spoken in Québec today.
In addition, these communities are highly active on the cultural,
political and economic scene. They run numerous businesses involved
in tourism development, forestry, fishing and the arts. Their
cultures are being passed along, maintaining traditions yet adapting
to the modern world. |
