What's in a name: Indian, Native, Aboriginal or Indigenous? ​
'Indian' a foreign word
'Native' so broad as to be meaningless
First Nations describes many people

Content: "Indigenous" is being used lately because some see it providing a connection with the land, but it is, after all, another word that stems from a foreign language. First Nations describes many people
The term "First Nations" has been used to describe the Ojibway, Dene, Dakota, Metis and Ininew (Cree) people in Manitoba and has found long-term acceptability. With so many different groups ranging from Mi'kmaq to Haida having so many things in common, people had to come up with a non-specific name which might include everyone. Note that the AMC uses First Nation to refer to themselves in their "About Us." Bottom line: First Nation people have done much to reclaim their identity by striving to become independent and self-sufficient. This is a good way to go about things for now. Perhaps the biggest problem with all of this is that we fight over it and people's feelings get hurt. I have always maintained that we should call people what they want to be called, and if I make a mistake when I refer to someone's name, I ask that they please "guide me gently to a higher understanding" like the elders do. I never meant to offend anyone and I hope we can teach each other about these things in a good way.
