This article provides an overview of the main types of dwellings and structures used by Indigenous peoples in the Arctic, Subarctic, Northwest Coast, Plateau, Plains and Eastern Woodlands.

    Architectural History: the French Colonial Regime

    Architecture under the French colonial regime was characterized less by its achievements than by its unfulfilled ambitions. Caught between ideals nurtured in France during the classical period and the harsh climate of New France, architecture gradually came to reflect local resources. At first, the building materials and craftsmen available represented obstacles to what otherwise would have been the mere transposition of metropolitan models onto Canadian soil. Eventually, the mother country's original designs were "Canadianized" and bequeathed to later generations essentially in the form of historical memory.
