Being of a people/culture that was in Canada before European colonization.
Still waiting on what "Canadian values" are, so you're a step ahead of me.
You wanted a definition, I gave you my educated estimation of what it is.Heard a speaker on the subject some months back... A female first nations anthropologist focusing on the Canadian situation.
She used an extremely interesting phrase in referencing the various indigenous groups (tribes) and their origins... The phrase was 'the first of the first nations' and used to identify a pecking order as far as I could see.
It sent a strong message that not all FN tribes are equal in terms of indigenousness.... Ultimately, one can only wonder what the definitive description is of being indigenous if this distinction is being made within the ranks of the FN communities in Canuckistan.
With respect to your definition, that argument can be taken further according to this anthropologist

If you want to spend your time chasing microconflicts within groups to which you do not belong, have at it. Everybody needs a hobby.

Yes, a microconflict. As in, a conflict amongst a small minority (of a small minority) that has no impact of any significance to the larger group. Transsubstantiation vs. consubstantiation. Homoousian vs. homoiousian. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind/To suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune/Or to take arms against a sea of troubles/And by opposing end them?A microconflict?... Interesting.
Yeah? Think this'll have a huge impact on TransCanada's stock price, the makeup of Parliament, or whether Torontonians remain self-absorbed douchebags or catch a clue?This lady made the beginnings of the argument that your definition will be taken far further than pre-European... But, that's your definition, mine is mine and Joe Palooka's is his
Changes the landscape dramatically when the hard questions get asked

Does one have to be 100% of that people/culture or is it 50% or 10% ? Please enlighten me .Being of a people/culture that was in Canada before European colonization.

1492 might be a starting point .How far back do we go in terms of genetic code?
The fourth known transoceanic voyage to the Americas? Why that one? Why not the first?1492 might be a starting point .

You can choose if you are male or female but to belong to a group you have to take what was around in 1500AD? How about a 6 week course that is multiple choice and online, at the end you have the ethnic background of your choice and if a white guy want to be an Indian on the Rez then that is what he becomes. Old Europe doesn't allow changes and that is more like a tradition that goes back to 300AD. Gentiles could become a member of the 12 Tribes after a few decades. Mistreatment has been around sine the concept of somebody being the master over somebody else came into being, in other words caveman times.1492 might be a starting point .
