Who were the First Nations?

I believe "First Nations" is the term that Canadians use for Indians/Native Americans/Aborigines. The first two are what Americans usually use, and the last one what Austrailians use. Basically, just those people who were around before Europeans showed up.

I thought the same but wanted some clarification. Thanks.
