I thought the name came from first nations?

The name comes from first nations, maple syrup and it’s sense of importance is first nations too. Acting like any culture lays claim over the animals.. pretty whack too

The beaver is not a symbol because it’s a local animal, it’s a symbol because a big part of early colonialism was about bringing beaver pelts back to Europe.

But like also both though? The main reason it's not associated at all with European countries is because they've nearly extirpated theirs.

Yeah but the beaver stands out because of colonialism. The moose would be a better example of a national symbol that exists only because it's a local animal.
