Acadian - Metis?

I'm looking for any possible First Nations bloodline from when my family first came to Acadia in the early 1600s.

From my understanding there is a lot on this topic regarding Antoine Bourg-Antoinette Landry. I have that they both emigrated from France, but sites elsewhere list it as a Metis name. If anyone could offer 100% clarification on this, that would be awesome.

Other names in question: Jacques Botquin, Marie Dugas, Marie Anne Pigeon (?), Rosalie Benoit, Marie Martin Pellerin, Charlotte Barie, Jean Baptiste Neveu

Regions: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec

www.omfrc.org is dedicated to researching and documenting the aboriginal and Metis families of Ontario. While Ontario is our primary focus, it is impossible to restrict our research to only Ontario. Many aboriginal and Metis families traveled extensively throughout the United States and Canada. Our research therefore encompasses both countries. We have been gathering information for over 40 years and we have records as far back as the early 1600s.

Our newsletters are posted on the omfrc.org website.
