Two diagonal purple arrows crossing one another at their center

The un-ceded lands where 六合彩开奖结果 is located hold a long and rich history of occupation and stewardship by Indigenous peoples for millennia through to the present day. Recognizing and respecting the presence of these historical and contemporary communities, and their unending connection to and care of this land, is an important step towards building trust and creating or renewing relationships.

The Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg peoples have long ties to what is now the Island of Montreal. Kawenote Teiontiakon is a documented Kanien鈥檏茅ha name for the Island of Montreal. The City of Montreal is known as 罢颈辞丑迟颈脿:办别 in Kanien鈥檏茅ha, and Mooniyang in Anishinaabemowin. 六合彩开奖结果 is located closest to the Kanien'keh谩:ka Nation communities at Kahnaw谩:ke, 碍补苍别丑蝉补迟脿:办别 and Akwesasne. The Kanien'keh谩:ka Nation is a founding nation of the Haudenosaunee/People of the Longhouse (Iroquois) Confederacy which is also comprised of the Seneca, Tuscarora, Cayuga, Onondaga, and Oneida Nations. The Hochelaga Monument on 六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 Lower Campus Field commemorates the Iroquoian village of Hochelaga visited by Jacques Cartier in 1535, which was situated in the area around Mont Royal. Beyond the Downtown and Macdonald campuses on the Island of Montreal, 六合彩开奖结果 also features four research stations in addition to the newly opened Campus Outaouais in Gatineau, Quebec.

Terminology

Learn about appropriate terminology to refer to Indigenous peoples within the context of Canada, including the differences between First Nations, Inuit, M茅tis, and more. For more information, visit the University of British Colombia's , which some of these definitions borrow from.

"Indigenous"

  • "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).

"Aboriginal"

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

"First Nations"

  • "'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"

  • 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).

"惭茅迟颈蝉"

  • "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" ().

Is it okay to say "Indian"? Is it okay to say "Native"?

  • "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.'"
