Canadian-American

Though the borders between the US and Canada dissolved after the formation of the United North American States, cultural boundaries still persist. The residents of the former Canadian provinces retain many customs and traditions that came with hundreds of years of Canadian history and heritage.
The majority of those in the Northern states consider themselves to belong to a Canadian ethnicity. Refugees from the former US assimilated into Canadian culture to differing degrees, so some consider themselves Canadian-American, while others defiantly claim the ethnicity of Middle-American in tribute to their ancestry. (It should be noted that not all who are ancestrally Canadian consider assimilated American refugees as "true" Canadians)
North American unification has also resulted in a strange geographic shift in cultural identity, as residents of Northern-Middle states such as Wisconsin, Lakeland, and Montana sometimes self identify as Canadian-American due to cultural and dialectical similarities even if their ancestry doesn't trace back to Canada itself.
Subdivisions do exist within Canadian culture, such as the Franco-American population centered around Quebec with notable exclaves in the former US, particularly Louisiana and New England.
First Nation tribes largely consider themselves ethnically separate from the main array of Canadian ethnicities.
