Document Summary
Lecture 2: ways of knowing: terminology, aboriginals (general term) in canada, first nations, metis and inuit, shift to term indigenous; not a government given term. Nations; it unites indigenous people, original people of land base globally. Indigenous group; original people of land base with knowledge of being colonized. Indigenous is preferred *** it is inclusive of the three above mentioned groups. Indian is a government given term- originates from christopher columbus, thinking he was in india: the term indian is used in the only race based government policy. Act, used to govern indians by the government: only say indian when referring to the act, native is contextual- not a bad term. Still should probably use the term indigenous: native american is used in the united states, not canada, metis- has distinctions. Could be french; could be scottish and cree. Metis means half- breed: do(cid:374)"t (cid:272)all so(cid:373)eo(cid:374)e a half-breed.
