Are you at least 50%? If so I think the Jay Treaty would apply although you may need to pay for a work permit.

KMac is mostly correct, look up Jay Treaty...If you can prove you're 50%> Native American, you can work & live in either the U.S. or Canada...You'll need to get a valid "Band Card" or other proof of blood lineage from your US or CA recognized tribe, basically it's up to you to prove it and many can't... Many of the buildings in NYC have been built by Native American steel workers, from both CA & US, still are.....Many NAI travel from Montreal to work all week in NYC and then go home on the weekends....They've been doing it for years...

Don't blame you
Canada treats natives even worse than the US does. -
I've been working on getting mine. I have all documents now, the blood quantum letter from Aboriginal affairs genealogy department took a while. Now I have to make an appointment at USCIS in the states to start the process. I'm guessing once I'm in and an owner operator I can inter state and still cross borders as usual.
