You can't say that at all!
You can no longer use the word "Indian" in Canada. The same goes for "Eskimo". You should talk about the original inhabitants.
Of course, only the surviving relatives of these original inhabitants remain. This is a piece of partial science where the facts become very vague.
There has been enormous interference from original inhabitants and settlers, or whatever they want to call the other inhabitants of Canada. The percentage of this interference is carefully considered so that some dare to claim a certain degree of origin.
In Canada they currently like to use the word "native" for this. No one actually knows what that word exactly means and what kind of rights it entails.
Canada's original inhabitants (natives) no longer live in teepees and igloos. They are westernized.
Some, in Canada, have shown descent from the country's original inhabitants. There may be interesting rights attached to this.
Training courses are often available at reduced costs, housing can sometimes be arranged, fishing rights can be enforced and huge tracts of land are made available. Those who live on a reserve are exempt from all kinds of taxes.
Here and there the fair also opens in other ways, such as for free electricity, transport facilities, construction works, cultural institutions, health facilities, and so on.
The colonists and their descendants ("white men") are still fought against by the descendants of the original inhabitants ("our people") and held to account for all kinds of supposed duties.
The original agreements with the tribes, often made in the 19th century, are no longer common. There are endless negotiations about rights, achievements and especially money.
Many more recent immigrants view this sourly. We haven't done anything wrong, have we? Why do we now have to pay for the misery of that time?
It is simply unlikely that this problem can ever be solved. However, a lot of time is spent on it and of course also a lot of money.
Race or descent - or both?
Frightening issues loom. What ancestry or racial background does a person have and to what extent does that matter?
To what extent is descent or partial descent or miscegenation actually relevant?
Many immigrants shudder at these kinds of issues. Quite recent history in many countries has already reacted angrily to these kinds of problems. Can one live with this? Can we ever figure it out?
But while you're at it, should people who came to Canada a hundred years ago (and their descendants) have more rights than people who came ten years ago?
Equal opportunities for all - could that possibly be a consideration?
Unfortunately, the Indian problem also involves significant poverty. Feel free to read more about it here (link).
