What you are saying is that you believe First Nations should recieve special or extra representation in government, which is an entirely different point.

I don't presume to know the voting patterns of First Nations in urban areas, but there are millions of Canadians whose votes "don't count". For starters, anyone who votes Green. Second, anyone who votes for a candidate who didn't win. Third, anyone who votes for a candidate who does win wastes a portion of their vote corresponding to the margin by which that candidate won. There are a lot of people who are unrepresented in first past the post.
