The most noteworthy faultline in this area would be the Indigenous/Non-Indigenous Faultline. Stadel (2008) identifies the Territories as the cultural core of “ancestral Canada”. This is supported by the fact of there is an overwhelmingly large proportion of First Nation people when compared to other ethnicities. Figure 3 shows that the total amount of people who reported as having Aboriginal origins numbers at the high 30 thousand while those with European origins and North American origins number at around 10 thousand combined. The high amount of Aboriginal presence makes it a potentially volatile in politics. Although the faultline is dormant right now, there is a significant amount of pressure between the government of Canada and Aboriginals
