    Hippies in Canada

    “Hippies” is a term used to describe young people who participated in the 1960s counterculture movement, which originated in the United States and spread throughout Canada in the second half of that decade. As a noun, “hippie” was a play on the adjective “hip,” which was used to describe young bohemians who lived in Greenwich Village in New York City, and in San Francisco, in the 1950s and early 1960s. Hippies were part of the “baby boom” generation, born immediately following the end of the Second World War (see Baby Boomers in Canada). This demographic wave was significant enough to transform Canadian society; by the mid-1960s more than half of Canada’s population of 20 million was under the age of 25.

    History of Acadia

    Acadia’s history as a French-speaking colony stretches as far back as the early 17th century. The French settlers who colonized the land and coexisted alongside Indigenous peoples became called Acadians. Acadia was also the target of numerous wars between the French and the English. Ultimately, the colony fell under British rule. Many Acadians were subsequently deported away from Acadia. Over time, as a British colony and then as part of Canada, Acadians increasingly became a linguistic minority. Nonetheless, Acadians have strived to protect their language and identity throughout time.

    History of Early Indigenous Peoples in Newfoundland and Labrador

    According to Indigenous oral histories in Newfoundland and Labrador, Indigenous peoples have lived in this territory since time immemorial. According to archaeology, the history of early Indigenous peoples in Newfoundland and Labrador begins at least 9,000 years ago. Archaeological cultures are defined by archaeologists and do not necessarily align with how Indigenous peoples in the past and present identify themselves. Archaeologists organize early Indigenous peoples into three main groups based on common ancestry. They are the First Nations Archaeological Cultures, Paleo-Inuit Archaeological Cultures and Inuit Archaeological Cultures.
