Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2025

Who are the Cree and Dene?

1. The Aboriginal people of the Northwest who were hunter-gatherers.

2. The nomadic Aboriginal people who followed the bison herd.

3. The Viking settlers from Iceland.

4. The Aboriginal people who primarily fished.

The correct answer is: The Aboriginal people of the Northwest who were hunter-gatherers.

The Cree and Dene are both Aboriginal groups of people from Canada who traditionally lived in the Northwest region. Option B is incorrect because the Cree and Dene were not primarily nomadic, although they did move seasonally to follow their food sources. Option C is incorrect because the Cree and Dene are not Viking settlers, as they originated from Indigenous communities. Option D is incorrect because while the Cree and Dene did fish in addition to hunting and gathering, fishing was not their primary means of subsistence. Therefore, option A is the most accurate answer as it describes who the Cree and Dene are and where they lived.
