There is choice.By which I mean that the First Nations (as we call 'em here) have land on which they can do what they like.
Granted it's a tiny percentage of the land they used before the white man came along, but it's there and it's theirs.
They could put up tipis or build houses or put a big trailer park there if they wished.
Sadly they tend to have horrible dilapidated houses and yards full of scrap cars and shit, very traditional I'm sure.
The chief usually has a nice house and car mind.

Yeah but they were mostly nomadic, so I guess they didn't have much choice when their way of life was destroyed and even in there new life it seems failry bad compared to their free roaming days, which was their cultral choice. i.e following the buffalo. They got shafted pretty bad imo.
