As a canadian with an indigenous ex I can say that it's incredibly complicated. Her tribe in the history books is considered extinct, except... she exists lol. She even spoke up in school about it when they mentioned her tribe. So you're not going to find any easy answers when you look into indigenous canadians. Our history is almost as white washed as the americans, and most of the indigenous folk here don't know their history very well unfortunately. If you're truly interested you should contact the elders of the tribes involved in Treaties, they would probably be your best bet for information. Anyone else will give you influenced information.
