You assume we'll be alive by 2028 and not dead from nuclear war because Putin rang up Trump and Trump didn't want to look lame in front of the cool kids.

I've never had the chance to ask anyone this question since having the experience, first the experience: I was traveling for work (in Chico, but came down to Sacramento), out to dinner by myself, eating at the bar, and a conversation was struck up between myself and the gorgeous woman sitting next to me; a recent transplant from Alaska. At some point in the conversation I made reference to her being Native American (I think I was talking about my great great grandmother who had passed a few years earlier); her face did all types of tricks and she said that term offends her, and she find it derogatory as "native people don't look like her, they look like the beginning of time." I didn't get to ask what she would like to be called if anything, because she changed subjects and I let her know I was married and wouldn't hang out with her after my dinner. Every heard of such a distinction, or is that an Alaskan "Native American" thing? (Yes, I know its unfair to ask you to be the mouth piece of all) I do know my great great grandmother took issue with the term because her nativeness precedes the land being called America.

Ive never known any if us to be offended by “Native” or “Native American”, so i guess without the whole convo, its hard to say what she reacted too. but don’t forget, we also have far left members of our community who think everything is racist, and are offended by everything, just like every community. We also have far right band members. We’re as diverse as any race. Some are easily offended, others are just offensive. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 In Canada we've gone through a gradual shift in terms for Indigenous people: Indian Native / Eskimo First Nations / Inuit / Metis Aboriginal Indigenous / Inuit / Metis (though Indigenous can be used for all three) Indigenous is the first to be self-chosen by Indigenous people, so unless it somehow becomes a slur I expect it will be the accepted term for a long time. There are still people who say Indian, though. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds a lot like white people deciding what is offensive. also, Eskimo are not offended by the term Eskimo, or at least the ones I have met weren’t. they definitely don’t call themselves Inuit (maybe in Canada they do, but not nirthern alaska).

I think the situation is probably different in Canada than the US for these terms. Here (in Saskatchewan), using Indian is considered offensive by all the Indigenous people I know. I don't know any Inuit since I am too far south, but from what I've read it's the same thing - they call themselves Inuit (or Inuk for an individual), and Eskimo is considered a racist, outdated term. Obviously I will simply listened to whatever a group of people want to call themselves (not my place to argue otherwise), but I'd assume that the culture is different in Canada and the US between the two groups, as the history is quite different as well (and relationship between the people and the state).
