The Canadian constitution recognizes 3 groups of Indigenous or Aboriginal peoples: Indians, Metis and Inuit. As "Indian" was the name Columbus mistakenly provided to Indigenous people of the Americas, in Canada that group of people have chosen to refer to themselves as First Nations. Originally, there were somewhere between 60 and 70 nations such as the Cree, Wendat, Mi'kmaq, Ahnishnawbe, Salish, Haida and others. Now, after government policies split these nations, there are 633 First Nation communities, peopled by those the Canadian constitution calls "Indians".
