List of Indigenous peoples of Canada

This is a list of historic Indigenous peoples of the nation of Canada. The various tribal entities are listed. The alphabetical section includes all known names of the tribes. Below that are nations that came into being between the 17th century & the 19th century. Tribes which migrated into such territories during this time are also included. Tribes that formed after 1900 are not included, nor are nations with a nexus only in the United States or Greenland.

This list does not include ancient civilizations or cultures whose true names have been lost to time, nor does it include sub-tribes or tribal districts-- with one exception being the inclusion of the St. Lawrence Iroquois.
