Canadians are not equal, some are "Canadian Plus". They have all the rights of Canadians PLUS extra rights due to archaic race treaties.
But most Canadians do not agree with these race laws and benefits.
That is where the term "First Nations" come from. Other terms have been used including Native and Indian. The problem with these terms is the obvious connection to race. The term "First Nation" has been adopted by those covered by race based treaties to avoid reminding people of the racial superiority claims.
We know that those calling themselves First Nation were not "First Nations" just the surviving nations. The First Nations in Canada are lost to history many thousands of years ago but not in the case of the Inuit.
The Inuit cannot claim "First Nation" we know the Dorset culture has the best claim to First Nation in the north but they were "displaced" by the Thule and then the Inuit.
The Metis have a questionable First Nation claim because the treaties are race based and Metis have as little as one sixteenth of the needed blood. Today many Metis are Metis by culture, unable to prove their racial purity.
First Nations people can prove their racial purity and have been numbered by the Canadian government. They alone can lay unquestionable claim to the rights given in the ancient race based treaties.
Those rights and that special status is the common connection. Each have their own claims, some better than others but all of them want a piece of that special status and a piece of the multi-billion dollar industry that surrounds it.
