Some do and some don't. English is more commonly spoken by the younger generation, as either a first or second language, but older First Nation's people may only speak their mother tongue.

For example, according to a 2006 report by Statistics Canada:

English and/or French were the primary languages spoken at home for 90% of off-reserve young First Nations children.
