Indigenous people in canada (guest lecture dr. rodney nelson) Indigenous = used more often on an international basis to describe native people but is now popularized by the canadian government (currently the politically correct term: the people go by their tribe/ancestry names (ex. : cree, ojibway, etc. ) anyway, so the politically correct term does not matter to them (it groups them all as one) Aboriginal = has been used in canada to represent first nations, metis and inuit. Native = more common in the us to describe indigenous people but is also used in canada. First nations = used to describe the many indigenous people in canada (excludes inuit & metis) Indian = still used by some and represents a legal position of native people in canada. Indigenous ancestry/origin = those who are of indigenous origin (north american indian, metis or inuit), and they may have mixed ancestry.
