The Minister works with Métis and non-status Indian organizations, as well as with provincial governments where appropriate, to find practical ways to improve the quality of life of Métis and non-status Indians.

The First Nations people had begun to identify by this term during 1970s activism, in order to avoid using the word "Indian" which was considered offensive.

Some indigenous peoples in Canada have also adopted the term First Nation to replace the word "Band" in the formal name of their community.

Within Canada, the term First Nations has come into general use for indigenous peoples other than Inuit and metis. Individuals using the term outside Canada include U.S. tribes within the Pacific Northwest, as well as supporters of the Cascadian independence movement. The singular, commonly used on culturally politicized reserves, is the term "first Nations person" (when gender-specific, "First Nations man" or First Nations woman").
This information is based the article "First Nations" on the website Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia. Wikipedia can be trusted because of its format it provides factual based information removed from emotional and political restraints often taking the stance of truth in decisive matters. The other large reason is because Wikipedia is actually just a collection of millions of other authors and all references and sources are always cited at the bottom of each article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Nations

First Nations

Fist Nations in Canada means groups of Indigenous peoples who are classified as distinct from the Métis and Inuit and historically lived south of the tree line and the the arctic circle. There are 634 recognized bands of First Nations and roughly half of those are located in Ontario and BC. Ontario First Nations are seeking to recover rent arrears from the Crown. The 23 Nations of the Robins-Huron Treaty are seeking to increase the payments made to their people in exchange for a land parcel the size of France. The payments to each person have been $4 a year since 1974 and the Ontario court of appeal recently ruled that the small violated the spirit of the treaty which was meant to share the wealth generated by the treaty.
