Asymmetric federalismAsymmetric federalism or asymmetrical federalism is found in a federation or other types of union in which different constituent states possess different powers: one or more of the substates has considerably more autonomy than the other substates, although they have the same constitutional status. This is in contrast to symmetric federalism, where no distinction is made between constituent states.

BeothukThe Beothuk (biːˈɒtək or ˈbeɪ.əθʊk; also spelled Beothuck) were a group of indigenous people who lived on the island of Newfoundland. The Beothuk culture formed at around 1500 AD. This appeared to be the most recent cultural manifestation of peoples who first migrated from Labrador to present-day Newfoundland around AD 1. The ancestors of this group had three earlier cultural phases, each lasting approximately 500 years. The Beothuk lived throughout the island of Newfoundland, mostly in the Notre Dame and Bonavista Bay areas.
