They were definitely conquered. If not by gunpoint, than by policy and subjugation. Conquest doesn't need to be by gun point, only by force.
It's been the plight of nomadic people around the world that eventually, a civilization establishes itself. With a few exceptions, First Nations in Canada were largely nomadic and few in numbers. Much of Canada at the time was unoccupied and undiscovered to First Nations and white people alike.
