First Nations people


Is “First Nations people” the politically correct term for American Indians? From the context that what I figured “First Nations” means.

“First Nation” is also the Canadian legal term for Native Americans/American Indians or aborigines as they are some times referred to. Wisconsin being on the northern border with Canada, its use may just be a little appropriation by a liberal student journalist.
