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.
In Canada, the word “indian” has been replaced by”First Nations.”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.
