Ilocano - meaning "our language here". Ilocanos occupy the narrow, barren strip of land in the northwestern tip of Luzon, squeezed in between an inhospitable mountain range to the east and the open sea to the west.

It is possible that Basque and Portuguese fishermen visited the coast of Newfoundland in the 15th century, but the first person known to land in what is now Canada is John Cabot, who landed somewhere on the coast of.
