First Nations

[edit]

Is it odd in a recent Canadian film to use the term "Indian"? Has this been discussed in reference to this film title in sources that can be referenced?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Nations#Terminology

"First Nation as a term became officially used beginning in 1980s to replace the term Indian band... The term had came into common usage in the 1970s to avoid using the word Indian, which some Canadians considered offensive."

"The term “Indian” should be used only when referring to a First Nations person with status under the Indian Act, and only within its legal context. Aside from this specific legal context, the term “Indian” in Canada is considered outdated and may be considered offensive due to its complex and often idiosyncratic colonial use in governing identity through this legislation and a myriad of other distinctions (i.e., “treaty” and “non-treaty,” etc.). In the United States, however, the term “American Indian” and “Native Indian” are both in current and common usage."
