The division is into Inuit, Metis(with an acute accent on the e), First
Nations, and Non-Status.
The Metis are descended from a mix of various indigenous nations and various
immigrant groups.
The Assembly of First Nations represents the various recognized
bands/tribes.
Non-Status refers to those who are of Native Canadian ancestry but no
membership in a recognized band/tribe.
