Where I get super-hesitant is the part where to do it without dealing with First Nations would be very erasing, but I'm not . . . entirely sure there EXISTS a way to respectfully and non-hugely-problematically integrate HPian worldbuilding with a FN-worldview/viewpoint.
This is actually what first occurred to me the moment you brought up Canadian schools (I now live with a Chinese-Canadian roommate who is very knowledgeable around FN issues in Canada, at least to my U.S.-ian eyes). I think, based on what little I know, the pitfalls and the payoff of trying to do it are both potentially huge.
