I can't think of a single encounter with a First Nations person before I moved to Alberta, except seeing some Canadian Rangers in the army and having it explained that it's kind of an aboriginal-focused part of the reserves. Rangers are people who live in really remote areas and help assert sovereignty over those areas. They're technically part of the Canadian Armed Forces, but aren't soldiers. They do annual patrols of their large, uninhabited areas of concern. They also work with actual soldiers as guides when soldiers need to operate in those areas for whatever reason. The idea is to allow the Canadian government to say "we totally have control over this land, see we have military personnel patrolling there regularly." The Ranger program is not focused on aboriginal people, it's just that these remote areas tend to be predominately aboriginal in population, so that's who participates.
