A la llegada de Jacques Cartier, tres grandes grupos de indígenas vivían en el actual territorio de Quebec: los esquimales thuleanos (conocidos hoy con el nombre de inuit), los iroqueses y los algonquinos. Estas tres familias lingüísticas están representadas todavía hoy, pero no siempre por las mismas lenguas o dialectos que en el siglo XVI. Desde antes de la fundación de la Ciudad de Quebec, los iroqueses que encontró Cartier se habían retirado al norte de Montreal, y dejaron un vacío que permitió a los micmacs y a los malecitas subir hacia el norte. 1, record 1, Spanish, - malecita
