Since 2009, June has been National Aboriginal History Month in Canada. June 21 is set aside each year as a day to honor the culture and contributions of native Canadians. Often referred to as the First Nations, including the Inuit and Métis tribes.
Royal Proclamation of 1763 is the foundational document and agreement between the First Nations people and the Crown. It laid the basis for Canada's territorial evolution. Concurrently The Treaty of Paris in 1763 ended more than 150 years of European competition and conflict in Canada. France ceded its colonial territories to Britain, becoming the primary European power in most of North America. The Spanish Empire extended into California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. France maintained its hold until 1803 of what would later be called the Louisiana Purchase.
The First Nations comprise six geographical Groups:
Woodland: Living in the boreal forest in the eastern part of the country;
Iroquoian: inhabited the southernmost area
Plains: Dwelling in the grasslands of the Prairies;
Plateau: Ranging from the semi-desert conditions in the south to high mountains in the north;
Pacific Coast: Living in the coastal regions of British Columbia
Mackenzie and Yukon River Basins: Inhabiting the northern areas adjacent to Alaska.
The history of the First Nations people and Canada is quite lengthy. A summary is here: http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1307460755710/1307460872523
