The survey also asked Canadians whether they believe they live on unceded territory - lands Indigenous people never legally surrendered to government authorities. “I don’t know what they’re reading, but clearly that’s not something you’d find in any Canadian history text.” Jedwab says the fact Columbus was picked at all is “worrisome.” When it comes to Columbus, the survey reports 20 per cent of Quebec respondents saw him as discovering Canada, compared to less than 15 per cent of all respondents from other regions polled.
“There’s more exposure to that perspective than there is in Quebec,” he adds. “Whereas in the rest of Canada now, there’s this movement to see the country more from the lens of three founders,” including Indigenous people, he says. It reports 46 per cent of Quebecers credit Cartier for Canada’s discovery, compared to 11 per cent in the province who picked Indigenous people.īy contrast, results show 20 per cent or higher of respondents across British Columbia, Altanic Canada, the Prairies, Alberta and Ontario chose Indigenous people, while less than 10 per cent from each picked Cartier.Īssociation president Jack Jedwab says inside Quebec there appears to be a greater tendency to see the country through the lens of French and English nations. The survey suggests a divide between how residents in Quebec and the rest of the country approach the question of “who discovered Canada.” The 85-year-old pontiff faced repeated calls last month to denounce a series of edicts, known as papal bulls, dating back to the 15th century, which countries used to justify colonizing lands thought to be uninhabited when in fact they were home to Indigenous people.
The concept of “discovery” is one that has been challenged as of late, most recently during Pope Francis’ visit to Canada. When the results were broken down by age, those 18 to 54 tended to say Indigenous Peoples in higher numbers than those 55 and older. The survey polled 1,764 Canadians and cannot be assigned a margin of error because online polls are not considered truly random samples. It says a remainder named a mix of the Vikings, Christopher Columbus and Samuel de Champlain, another explorer credited for the founding of Quebec and helping colonize the region for France. The survey reports another 15 per cent of respondents said they didn’t know. Some 16 per cent offered up the name of Jacques Cartier, the French explorer who made several voyages to the country’s shores and waterways beginning in 1534. The survey found that when asked the open-ended question of “who discovered Canada,” 21 per cent of overall respondents named Indigenous people.
The results are based on a web study the polling firm Leger did for the Association for Canadian Studies from July 8 to 10, in which it asked a series of questions around historical narratives in the country. Quebecers are more inclined to say Jacques Cartier - or even Christopher Columbus - “discovered Canada,” compared to the rest of the country, which points to Indigenous people, a new survey suggests.
