GREJ OF THE DAY: CANADA

A few facts about Canada:

* The language: How can you tell an American from a Canadian?

* Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia (10 provinces. Nunavut = the newest 1999 - Inuits)




"Canada" is an Iroquoian language word meaning "Village."

The Iroquoian languages are a language family of indigenous peoples of North America. 

The Iroquois people have lived in the areas of Ontario and upstate New York for over 4,000 years. Technically speaking, "Iroquois" refers to a language rather than a particular tribe. 
In fact, the Iroquois consisted of five native tribes before the European colonization.

Iroquois people still exist today. There are approximately 28,000 living in or near reservations in New York State, and approximately 30,000 in Canada
