The term “First Nations” came from the tribes that have settled their land claims in the Yukon, which where I came from. It is a term of respect. I don’t think you no what the word oxymoron means. It is quite obvious that you live in the United States. The word America covers all the land between the most northerly points in the United States and Canada and the most Southerly points in Argentina and Chile. This is divided into North, Central and South America.
Muslims have been doing this for 1000+ years to all infidels as an excuse to take their land. All for Allah.
what was the excuse the Christians made when they took over America?
The only good Indian is a dead Indian.
I have been looking for a word that encompasses the confiscation of land and the murder/slaughter of Indignous peoples. I think it is "colonialism".
In Canada, the word “indian” has been replaced by”First Nations.”
Doesn't have the same ring.
I have for a long time thought "First Nations" was so much political correctness. I admit to having no knowledge of how it was chosen.
And in America, where I live, "Indian" is an oxymoron. But it's the best we can do. To change words now would lose a lot of written history.
