	Aboriginal peoples in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aboriginal peoples in Canada are Indigenous Peoples recognized in the Canadian Constitution Act, 1982, sections 25 and 35, respectively, as Indians (First Nations), Métis, and Inuit.
		The term "First Peoples" has also been used synonymously, and is occasionally used as a descriptive term by U.S. Native Americans in solidarity with their Canadian relatives.
		To many people in the U.S. the capitalized term Aboriginal suggests the native people of Australia, who are elsewhere known as "Aborigines"; whereas the uncapitalized common adjective aboriginal simply means "indigenous", or as a noun refers to any indigenous person.

	First Nations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Collectively, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples are known as Aboriginal peoples, First peoples, or Indigenous peoples, bands, or nations.
		In general, those Indigenous peoples within Canada who describe themselves as "First Nations" do not believe or hold with the concept of sovereignty of Indigenous peoples as nation-states, while those who do not use the term, or insist upon the term "Indigenous peoples" are sovereignists.
		All members of First Nations who are entitled to benefits are entered in the Indian Register, which serves as the official record of members of First Nations.

	First Peoples' Television Broadcasting in Canada
		First Peoples of Canada have become internationally acknowledged as having the most advanced and fair Fourth World (indigenous peoples) broadcasting system, based on a 1991 legislated recognition of their collective communications and cultural rights as Peoples with a special status.
		In the Canadian context, "First Peoples" is an inclusive term referring to both the Inuit (known elsewhere as "Eskimos") and the Amerindian populations, the latter also known as First Nations.
		Partly as a result of the pioneering and persistent activities of First Peoples to make their programming an integral part of the Canadian media infrastructure, Canada has also come to be identified as a model of media resistance against the overwhelming forces of continental integration in North America.

		The issue of first peoples and their relationship to land and sustainable resource management is increasingly a focus for both LTC and IES.

	California History Collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		California's rugged topography, marked by mountain ranges and deserts, made it difficult for her indigenous groups to travel great distances, and the region's native peoples were even isolated from each other, tending to live in large family groups or clans with little political structure, unlike the larger tribes and nations to the east.
		The region's lack of rain during the growing season meant that agriculture was not a practical means of livelihood for early Californians, but the gentle climate and rich soil enabled these groups to live by skillfully harvesting and processing wild nuts and berries and by capturing the fish that crowded the streams.
		Indeed, the first English-speaking Europeans to encounter California Native Americans were so struck by their focus on gathering nuts from the ground and unearthing nutritious roots that they nicknamed them "Diggers," and "Digger Indian" became a vague nickname for many of the groups.

	Compact Histories
		When he first met the Susquehannock in 1608, Captain John Smith was especially impressed with their size, deep voices, and the variety of their weapons.
		They were a clean people, when compared to the white English, German, and Scots-Irish settlers drifting in, infiltrating their territory, most of whom were satisfied to bathe in autumn and not again til spring.
		Wenro is a short form of their Huron name, Wenrohronon, meaning "the people of the place of floating scum." The name derived from the location of their main village near the site of the famous oil spring at Cuba, New York.

		These are different peoples who have followed particular trajectories of cultural and economic evolution in specific environmental conditions such as the equatorial rainforests, the Atlas, Hoggar and Tibesti mountain ranges, the Rift Valley and the deserts of the Sahara and the Kalahari.
		Today there’s a wide literature on how people have to ‘perform indigeneity’ in the courtroom or whatever in order to get into the indigenous slot, and of course in some situations (especially Australia) anthropologists are made to testify about who is and isn’t indigenous.
		But I think the terms ‘native’ ‘first nation’ ‘indigenous’ came about are the results of really nasty historical processes that occurred well before the rise of anthropology as a discipline.
