Huh never heard the precolonial societies on the Atlantic side referred to as First Nations

Does all of Canada use that terminology now?

I think that term only bleeds over across the border into the US in the Pacific Northwest, since some tribes there overlap borders and have a special cross border ID that allows employment (some cross border tribes in New England but theyre just split in two)

"First nations" is the common term in Canada to refer to the people living in the area now known as Canada before Europeans arrived, similar to "Native American" in the US.

I think we’re saying the same thing, just had not confirmed it was all of Canada saying this for all pre-european civilizations within Canada.
