Answer: First Nations
Step-by-step explanation:
The people of the First nations were the occupants of Canada before the British and the French came much like the American Native Indians. These groups had existed for thousands of years in Canada and today there are 634 of them recognized by the Canadian government.
Like the United States, there were conflicts between the colonists and the First nations however it has been noted that these were not as violent as those in the area that would become the U.S..
