First Nations People

First Nations people are the Indigenous peoples of Canada, with distinct cultures, languages, and histories that predate European colonization. They are often referred to as First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, each group having its own unique heritage. First Nations communities are recognized in Canadian law and have been actively involved in advocating for their rights, land claims, and cultural preservation. Their traditions, governance systems, and spiritual beliefs are integral to their identities. Understanding First Nations involves acknowledging their history, contributions, and ongoing challenges in relation to colonization and social justice.
