In Canada, the term 'Native American' is never used, presumably because
of the association
between 'America' and U.S.

The CBC (Canadian public radio) uses the the term 'Indigenous Peoples'
most of the time;
'First Nations Peoples' seems to be the preferred term in official
statements by, uh, First Nations
organizations and academics (we have a programme in 'First Nations
Studies'), at least in British
Columbia.  But I don't think that either of these terms have come into
common usage.
