Yeah I'm not giving them First Nations or any of that nonsense. Hence "savage natives".
Here for the US, I just use Indians, and the only people I've ever heard offended are white people. I was at a museum in New Mexico a few years ago and there's an guy that works there doing a short tour and kept calling himself and the people Indians. Someone asked him a question and said "Native American" and before he even answered their question he told them Indian was fine. Most of them in Oklahoma use the term Indian. So why do I need to go to "First Nations", "Native American", "Indigenous Tribes", etc. when the actual people ask me to say Indian?
See also: the “Indigenous Voice to Parliament”. Supported by white people who live in cities and claim Indigenous ancestry. Largely opposed by most full-blood non-bureaucrats actually living out there, in remote areas, on-ground…
Funny that. Just makes it all the more obvious who is actually calling the shots, there (it ain’t the full-bloods).
But if you point this out, “You’re rayciss!”, naturally…
