Either way, it doesn't really matter. The term, immigration, only makes sense when there are established political boundaries. I tend to think that terming indigenous people under a single umbrella as original peoples is fair, but kind of stretches any real notion of shared identity or settlement.
Safe to say, that they exist as an enormously heterogenous population of people that were indispensable to the creation of Canada.
