Best Answer

The term 'First Nations' refers to the groups of people that were native to Canada prior to the European settlements. The First Nations are also known as Indians (even more so in America), but it is an incorrect term that began being used after Columbus thought he arrived in India (rather than North America).

A First Nation refers to societies, tribes, or cultures that existed in North America before the arrival of Europeans, e.g. Navajo, Iroquois, Cree, etc.
