Fishing, sealing and shipbuilding shaped island communities, and Celtic music survives in Cape Breton and Newfoundland, with live sessions a fixture of local pubs. Norse settlers reached L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland around 1000 AD, and Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949. Prince Edward Island is known for potatoes and Malpeque oysters, while Newfoundland has cod and bakeapple berries. English is the main language, with French in parts of PEI and Nova Scotia, and Inuktitut in Nunavut's islands, and French remains part of daily life in parts of Nova Scotia.
