The Mysterious History of the Beothuk Indigenous Peoples in Newfoundland, Canada

The colonization of North America has impacted many, many different groups over the
history of Canada and the United States. One of the most tragic stories is that of the Beothuk
who are said to have gone extinct in 1829 when their last member died of Tuberculosis. But
what really happened to them? Mi’kmaq and Innu oral history tell us that the Beothuk may have survived.
