We tend to use aboriginal in Canada, or to actually refer to a people by name, e.g., Dene, Cree, Métis, Inuit; we used to use Indian, but it's inaccurate and often considered offensive.
Note: Aboriginal includes First Nations (what used to be called Indian, or native), Métis, and Inuit, so is the best, most comprehensive term.
