PDF	Terminology Guide: Aboriginal Heritage Aboriginal Title A term that legally recognizes Aboriginal interest in land It is based on the long -standing use and occupancy of land by Aboriginal peoples as the descendants of the original inhabitants of Canada

Should Aboriginal peoples be referred to together?
If using this, it should always be Aboriginal Peoples together as opposed to Aboriginal or Aboriginals. First Nation is a term used to identify Indigenous peoples of Canada who are neither Métis nor Inuit. This term came into common usage in the 1970s to replace the term “Indian” and “Indian band” which many find offensive.
Are Aboriginal terms offensive?
Terminology, particularly as it relates to Indigenous peoples, can be tricky to navigate. A term that might be acceptable to some might be offensive to others. Because of this, many people do not feel confident using certain terms when referring to Aboriginal peoples.
Why do Aboriginal people use terminology?
The history of relationships between the Canadian state and Aboriginal peoples is complex, and has oftentimes been paternalistic and damaging. As a result, terminology can represent something more than just a word. It can represent certain colonial histories and power dynamics.
Who are Aboriginal people in Canada?
The term “Aboriginal” refers to the first inhabitants of Canada, and includes First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. This term came into popular usage in Canadian contexts after 1982, when Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution defined the term as such. Aboriginal is also a common term for the Indigenous peoples of Australia.

Introduction

In a field of complex and contentious issues, understanding Aboriginal identity in Canada is one of the most challenging tasks. Perceptions of Aboriginal identity can be complex. Definitions may have legal implications that often operate in surprising ways. In this section, we go over the various ways in which Aboriginal peoples in Canada self-iden

Terminology

For many people who live in traditional communities or who have deep and clear roots within them, identity can be, at least in some ways, straightforward. They identify themselves within a particular family, clan, band, or nation and may prefer to use the traditional terms and names that locate them within those circumstances. When introducing them

“Aboriginal”

For instance, for the last few decades and until recently, the most inclusive term in general usage in Canada has been “Aboriginal,” a term that gained significant currency with its use in the repatriated Canadian Constitution of 1982. The Constitution itself was a site of struggle for Native rights in Canada, and in the negotiations leading to the

Inuit & Métis Identity

The other categories of identity used in the Canadian constitution, “Inuit” and “Métis,” each also have a prior history. Of all of the terms used in the constitution, “Inuit” may be the least controversial, since it is a community-based term that refers to a relatively consistently to an ethnic and linguistic group in the far north. “Métis,” on the

“Indian,” Status, and The Indian Act’s Role in Defining Identity

Not all people who might identify as “Indian” have status, though the Daniels decision has further complicated this situation. Prior to 1961, for instance, an “Indian” who acquired an education could be forcibly “enfranchised,” becoming a Canadian citizen, but losing status as an “Indian.” Prior to 1985, an Indian woman who married a non-Indian man

“First Nations” as A Term

By the end of the 20th century, the term “First Nations” has gained considerable currency in Canada. At times, it has had something of the broad usage now accorded to “Aboriginal,” and has appeared to be a more respectful successor to “Indian” (as “Native American” did in the US). More recently, “First Nations” has shifted towards a more restrictiv

“Indigenous”

Finally, “Indigenous,” has gained prominence as a term to describe Aboriginal peoples in an international context through the increasing visibility of international Indigenous rights movements. ”Indigenous” may be considered by some to be the most inclusive term of all, since it identifies peoples in similar circumstances without respect to nationa

Shifting Usage of Terms

You may have noticed that even in this short account, the terminology used has been to some extent necessarily circular: one term has been used in the process of defining another, while that second term may, at some later point, contribute to the definition of the first one. This apparent circularity is the result of at least three factors. Firstly

Conclusion

To summarize: 1. Many Indigenous people prefer to identify themselves by specific local terms based on family and community location and traditional names. They may or may not be supportive of more general terms such as “Aboriginal,” “Indigenous,” or “Indian” that arise out of European or international legal frameworks, and group them in with other
