Yes, she was from the land of Canaan making her a Canaanite. Although she later married Salmon the Israelite and stayed with his people the rest of her life. She also bore him a son, Boaz. She played a very important part and because of her faith had the honor of being in the lineage of Jesus Christ.

Rahab was a resident of Jericho, definitely not an Israelite. The Book of Joshua in The Bible lists her profession as a harlot, although many writers try to Dodge this by saying she was an innkeeper (but even today, an inn can serve as a house of ill repute). In any case, she helped the Israelite spies who were sent out to investigate Jericho. After the fall of Jericho, there's a midrash in the Talmud that Rahab converted to Judaism and married Joshua, and that among her descendants were several of the prophets.
