As an aside for people reading the comments here, and I'm not going to comment on people's comments correcting them because this isn't the place ( and it says it in the article as well)
I was told recently, that we should not be using the word Aboriginal. I know this will cause an onslaught of people saying "what do they want to be called now?! " but when you think about the word "Aboriginal" and other words like it, it's not very friendly. "abhorrent", "abnormal", etc. Aboriginal means not original.
We should be saying "indigenous peoples" as it encompasses all and is more accurate. I've been told First Nations is also acceptable.
