First Nations
More than 500 years ago, Christopher Columbus reached North America. Never admitting that he had reached a continent previously unknown to Europeans, rather than the East Indies he had set out for, Columbus called the inhabitants of the lands he visited Indios (Spanish for "Indians").
First Nations is the original master of North America, they had settled across Canada by 40000 – 10000 BC. Hundreds of tribes had developed, each with its own culture, customs, legends, and character.
In 1960, First Nations people finally received the right to vote in federal elections.

Métis
The Métis trace their descent to mixed First Nations and European heritage.
During the height of the North American fur trade in the 18th and 19th centuries, many British and French Canadian fur traders married First Nations and Inuit women. Métis were exposed to both the Catholic and indigenous belief systems, thus creating a new distinct aboriginal.

Métis people were thought of as the bond between the Europeans and First Nations and Inuit peoples of Canada.

Inuit
Inuit is also called “Yellow Race in the Arctic Circle”.
Inuit emerged from western Alaska, after crossing the land bridge from Asia also called Beringia, around 1000 CE and spread eastwards across the Arctic. They are inhabiting the Arctic regions.
The Inuit have traditionally been fishers and hunters. They still hunt whales (esp. bowhead whale), walrus, caribou, seal, polar bears, muskoxen, birds, and Arctic Fox.
They love raw meat. In their traditional view, it is such a waste if the meat is cooked.
