Some references from the Quebec language office: https://vitrinelinguistique.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/fiche-gdt/fiche/26532634/premieres-nations "Dans l'usage général actuel, cependant, cette désignation est souvent jugée péjorative." https://vitrinelinguistique.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/25335/la-typographie/majuscules/emploi-de-la-majuscule-pour-des-types-de-denominations/designations-de-peuples-autochtones In Canadian context Première Nations specifically excludes Métis and Inuit people (not that the Inuit hunted bison..), and it's a very Canadian term. The most inclusive term which would include US American Indians (who have reclaimed the term) would indeed be "peuples autochtones". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
