Three groups of people constitute Indigenous Peoples in
Canada, also called First
Peoples. Also called Aboriginal.
-old word, outdated vocab Indian
1. First Nations -people in the south of
Canada
2. Inuit Eskimo – people
in the north of Canada
3. Métis – ‘mixed’ people who
are First Nations and European ancestry
First Nations came into common usage in the 1980s to replace the term ‘Indians’ Native
· Talk about origin of the word ‘Indian’ due to
geographical misunderstanding, West Indies
· First Nations- Indigenous people in the South
(below Arctic Circle). Half of all First Nations bands are in Ontario and BC.
· Inuit are the Indigenous people who live in the North.
Used to be called ‘Eskimo’- disparaging term from French Esquimaux, from
Montagnais ayas̆kimew ‘person who laces a snowshoe’. Montagnais, or Innu, are
the Indigenous inhabitants of an area they refer to as Nitassinan, which
comprises most of the northeastern portion of the present-day province of
Quebec and some eastern portions of Labrador.
Discredited etymology ‘raw fish eater’

Metis - French- do
not pronounce the ‘s’ may-tee
-a person of
mixed Indigenous and European ancestry
1600s and 1700s
- Fur trading European men came to hunt animals, like beavers
In particular
one of a group of such people who in the 19th century constituted the so-called
Metis nation in the areas around the Red and Saskatchewan rivers. Metis comes
from the French word ‘métis’, which means ‘mixed’.

The three groups: First Nations/ Inuit/ Metis
