First Nations in Canada is an educational resource designed for use by young Canadians; high school educators and students; Aboriginal communities; and anyone interested in First Nations history. Its aim is to help readers understand the significant developments affecting First Nations communities from the pre-Contact era (before the arrival of Europeans) up to the present day.

The first part of this text —"Early First Nations"— presents a brief overview of the distinctive cultures of the six main geographic groups of early First Nations in Canada. This section looks at the principal differences in the six groups' respective social organization, food resources, homes, modes of transportation, clothing, and spiritual beliefs and ceremonies.

Parts two through six of this text trace the relationship between First Nations and newcomers to Canada from the very first encounter up to the government's historic apology in June 2008 to all former students of Indian Residential Schools. In this apology, the Government of Canada expressed deep regret for the suffering individual students and their families experienced because of these schools. The government also acknowledged the harm that residential schools and assimilation policies had done to Aboriginal people's cultures, languages and heritage.

How First Nations were forced to change over-time due to the influx of Europeans.
First Nations had to change the way that their typical lifestyle was, because of the new settlers.
They abandoned their traditional lifestyle and had to work labour in industries owned by new settlers; they would also get paid less.
Their things got taken away.
Aboriginal children were put into residential schools where they were being mistreated.
Since more settlers kept coming, they would leave their homes because there wouldn’t be enough food production; the Europeans cut down their trees and took away their land, leaving them empty handed.
Aboriginals have been mistreated throughout a long period oaf time, everyone deserves their human rights, and they should not abuse their power.
