First Nations are the Indigenous peoples of Canada, comprising over 600 distinct communities representing more than 50 nations with 50+ languages. Inhabiting the land for thousands of years before European contact around the 16th century, First Nations developed sophisticated trade networks, governance systems, and cultural practices rooted in deep connections to the land. Today, they represent approximately 5% of Canada's population and continue to play vital roles in the country's cultural, political, and social fabric.
