Canadas First Nations are deeply pro crown

This is a dangerous falsehood. Indigenous ppl get audiences with the crown because their treaties are with the crown, and not with the Federation Government. They are absolutely NOT "pro-crown".

You should no longer say that.

Thanks for the important distinction. If forced politically to choose between the crown and republicanism these communities are consistently choosing the crown, is all I mean.

Yeah, I understand what you meant. However, specific language is better to speak of this because of the tendency of people to extrapolate from single facts inappropriately.
