Aboriginal people that lived in the Newfoundland?

The Aboriginal people of Newfoundland primarily comprised the Beothuk and the Mi'kmaq. The Beothuk were known for their unique red ochre burial practices and lived mainly on the island's northern and central coasts until their decline in the early 19th century, largely due to European colonization and resource competition. The Mi'kmaq, who inhabited the island's western regions, continue to have a vibrant culture and community today. Both groups have contributed significantly to Newfoundland's history and cultural heritage.
