  • Canadian term for equivalent of "native american"

  • Would you say "First nationer" to describe a "native american"?

  • Awkward. Aboriginal tribes in Australia often describe themselves as nations. It's a political statement as much as anything. But as nation is very much identified in modern discourse with the nation state, it seems a strategy destined to leave most people perplexed.
