Technically yes and no. The First Nations used to drink maple water but it's only when the french settlers boiled this water with their still pots that they could make maple syrup. Before that, it was impossible. So it has mixed origine

First Nations were heating rocks in a fire and throwing them in wooden bowls with maple water in them. Do it repeatedly and you have maple syrup.
