The problem with Canada is the NIMBY and zoning laws that prevent density generally. Its slow to build, except in places like Alberta which are actually speeding things up. We have some of the highest housing prices globally and the most restrictive zoning laws.

As far as indigenous people I'm not sure your point, we were all born here and we all owe our standard of living to modern technology produced globally, as rent seekers in Canada attempt to pull up the ladder behind them. Is it a gate keeping comment of some kind, and are indigenous people not affected by housing shortages?
