I don't think ignorance of Canada's treaty obligations to indigenous First Nations is something to get guilty about. Canada's education system has generally done a terrible job on this.
One thing you could do to start is buy this book, which I found to be an easy, breezy read and very informative. https://www.amazon.ca/Things-Know-About-Indian-Reconciliation/dp/0995266522 .
But yeah on the topic in question, and why 'communities' is an inappropriate framing:
Canada's land area contains a large number of indigenous nations with significant traditional territorial lands. In some cases these nations have treaties with the crown, while in other cases, (in much of BC for example) there is no treaty, and these traditional lands are unceded, meaning that the rights and title have never been extinguished.
For a concrete example the Haida Nation has declared that the entirety of Haida Gwaii archepelago is its territory, and has strong opinions on how these lands and waters should be jointly managed by the Haida Nation, BC and Canada.
From this example, given the scale of the lands and scope of governance we're talking about, it's absurd to talk about this issue with the framing of the Haida Nation as a 'community' as that brings to mind like a small town and small area.
When Scheer talks about these nation to nation discussions between the Crown and First Nations as just being about 'communities' he's being disengenuous and trying to make it sounds like it's a small town dispute and something that the Feds should of course be able to railroad over.
