• "Indigenous is a term used to encompass a variety of Aboriginal groups. It is most frequently used in an international, transnational, or global context" (UBC).

• "The term 'Aboriginal'听refers to the first inhabitants of Canada, and includes First Nations, Inuit, and M茅tis peoples" (UBC).

• "'First Nation'听is a term used to describe Aboriginal peoples of Canada who are ethnically neither M茅tis nor Inuit. This term came into common usage in the 1970s and 鈥�80s and generally replaced the term 'Indian',听although unlike 'Indian',听the term 'First Nation'听does not have a legal definition" (UBC).
• There are more than 630 First Nations communities in what is now called Canada, each with its own history, traditions, and practices.

• Inuit in Canada come from Inuit Nunangat, or the Inuit homeland. Inuit Nunangat comprises four regions: Inuvialuit (Northwest Territories and Yukon),听Nunavut, Nunavik (Northern Quebec), and Nunatsiavut (Labrador).听Inuit means "the people" in the Inuit language of Inuktut. The singular form is Inuk, meaning "person."
• "This term refers to specific groups of people generally living in the far north who are not considered 'Indians'听under Canadian law" (UBC).

• "The advent of the fur trade in the historic Northwest during the 18th century was accompanied by a growing number of mixed offspring of Indian women and European fur traders. As this population established distinct communities separate from those of Indians and Europeans and married among themselves, a new Indigenous people emerged 鈥� the M茅tis people 鈥� with their own unique culture, traditions, language (Michif), way of life, collective consciousness, and nationhood" ().
• "Distinct M茅tis communities developed along the routes of the fur trade and across the Northwest within the M茅tis Nation Homeland. This Homeland includes the Prairie provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta), as well as parts of Ontario, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, and the northern United States" ().

• "The term 'Indian'听refers to the legal identity of a First Nations person who is registered under the Indian Act. The term 'Indian'听should be used only within its legal context when referring to a First Nations person with status under the Indian Act. Aside from this specific legal context, the term 'Indian'听in Canada is considered outdated and may be considered offensive due to its complex and often idiosyncratic colonial use in governing identity."
• "The term 'Native'听is a general term that refers to a person or thing that has originated from a particular place. The term 'native'听does not denote a specific Aboriginal ethnicity (such as First Nation, M茅tis, or Inuit). In Canada, the term 'Aboriginal'听or 'Indigenous'听is generally preferred to 'Native'. Some may feel that 'native'听has a negative connotation and is outdated. This term can also be problematic in certain contexts, as some non-Aboriginal peoples born in a settler state may argue that they, too, are 'native.'"

Inuk journalist Ossie Michelin has a friendly how-to guide about the correct terms to use when talking about Indigenous peoples.
