Who was the first nations leader?

The first nations leader in Canada is often considered to be Chief Dan George, who was a prominent Indigenous leader, actor, and author. However, if referring to the broader context of Indigenous leadership, many First Nations have their own traditional chiefs and leaders, with varying historical figures across different tribes. Notably, leaders like Tecumseh and Pontiac played significant roles in resistance against colonial expansion in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Each Indigenous community has its own historical leaders, making it difficult to pinpoint a singular "first" leader.
