Inclusion of First Nations in article

Should "First Nations" be included, as it is in the opening paragraph of the article? I post this here from a series of edits (removed , reinstated , and three more back-and-forths), which ended up discussed on an IP talk page, where it was suggested by another user that discussion be moved to the talk page here. From the editor's talk page discussion:

• From :
  You need to remove the fake entry no reference to any existing jigs of first nation people. You keep adding in fake info . Show your reference to a native American indian jig ?

• From :
  The first reference in the Red River Jig article is to Ethnologies, and the article titled "The Social Poetics of the Red River Jig in Alberta and Beyond". And the very first sentence in the Abstract is "The Red River Jig is a fiddle tune and a dance form that have particular resonance for First Nations and Métis peoples in Northern and Western Canada." _signed, Willondon (talk) 02:31, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

• From , :
  I went through all your references and no mention of first nation . The word you want is metis people not first nation . There has never ever been a native American tribe in north America to jig dance thats a European and metis thing not first nation . Unless you got references to native American tribes square dancing and dancing jigs stop destroying native American culture with fake entries. I was trying to not flood you with reference to disprove you . Im talking this over with tribal council to take appropriate actions leagally. So out of just the 500 plus tribes in just Canada i cant find 1 first nation tribe that jigs but your sentence says all first nation people jig . Now on to usa out of the 560 tribes i cant find any reference to jigs . Only thing i find is metis jigs . Obviously its not all first nation people maybe list out the tribes that jig .

So, should mention of First Nations be included in the article? I say Wikipedia just has to go by the secondary sources we use, and this is the one we've got. _signed, Willondon (talk) 18:32, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
