First Nations
The indigenous peoples of Canada who are neither Inuit nor Metis.
noun (plural)
Số nhiều: First Nations
This term is primarily used in Canada to refer to indigenous peoples who are not Inuit or Métis. It is a formal and respectful designation that emphasizes the sovereignty and distinct political identities of these groups, replacing older, colonial terms like "Indians."
Because the term refers to a collective of diverse sovereign entities, it is almost exclusively used in the plural. It functions as a proper noun and is typically capitalized to acknowledge the legal and political status of these nations.
