    I am also of the opinion that this video is fantastic. But why the music? And if you want to have the music, duck the music to a much lower volume so the speaker is more in the foreground. After about five minutes, this gets incredibly tedious.

    I'm Mi'kmaq from Ktaqamkuk and the Beothuk used to live on the coast around the town that I grew up in (before there was a town there). We have found tons of their artifacts over the years and years ago myself and a few others actually went with Misel Joe to recover some Beothuk birch bark artifacts on a nearby island. Some of the Ktaqamkuk Mi'kmaq may have some Beothuk DNA because those same areas are now territories of Mi'kma'ki.

    English should have the English flag. Not USA, not Britain. England. It's called English because it is the language of England. You speak it because of how influential England has been in the entire history of the world. For good or bad, you speak English because The English made it that way. Just remember that from 1066 to the 1400s English was the language of the populace, not the elites.

    As an Argentine, although most of the things you said are true: we have a cultural and gastronomical bond with Italy, theres an important influence of Italian in our language and so on, people don't speak Italian in their everyday life and the small fraction that speaks it usually does so for travel, interest or to honour their ancestry, so finding someone to speak it if you visit Argentina will be hard.

    500-700 people cannot live around the perimeter of this island as it’s outlined in red here. The island is just too huge. That many lived in one small area of the island. They traveled far and wide but not too often in bays in birch bark canoes. They didn’t have too, the rivers and sea and land provided.

    The “rules”? There are several noun endings (14 masculine and 25 feminine, give or take) that one eventually memorizes subconsciously that are pretty foolproof 99% of the time. So, in reality, it’s not as overwhelming as it first seems. We natives make mistakes all the time with uncommon nouns and to make this even more fun, gender can sometimes differ between France and Canada.

    Latin names for the days of the week are quite like Sanskrit names. Starting with Sunday they are named after the Sun (Ravi or Āditya रवि or आदित्य), the Moon (Soma or Candra, सोम or चन्द्र), Mars (Mangala or Bhauma or Kuja, मङ्गल or भौम or कुज), Mercury (Budha बुध), Jupiter (Bṛhaspati or Guru, बृहस्पति or गुरु), Venus (Śukra, शुक्र), and Saturn (Śani, शनि).
