First Nations refers to the various Indigenous peoples in Canada who are neither Inuit nor Métis. They have distinct cultures, languages, and histories, and are recognized as one of the three main groups of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Each First Nation has its own unique traditions and governance systems, contributing to the rich tapestry of Canadian heritage. The term encompasses over 600 recognized First Nations, each with its own unique identity and community. Many First Nations are actively working to preserve their languages and cultural practices, while also engaging in modern governance and economic development initiatives to improve the well-being of their members.
