own unique cultures, languages, and histories.

native which is used to refer them as indigenous people and they have
very unique culture as well as traditions different from other community.

Indigenous communities in Canada. Indigenous children were forcibly
separated from their families and cultures and subjected to abuse and
cultural assimilation.

Canada to address the legacy of residential schools and promote
reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
