That’s Canadian, the US doesn’t refer to indigenous Americans as “First Nations”. Native American is still the academic go-to south of the border.
Academic circles have preferred “American Indian” for a couple decades now. You still see “Native American” in lower-level materials (undergraduate and below), though.
It’s mixed at best, there’s no universal consensus for either one in academic circles, especially once you get to international audiences. Of course there’s no universal preference among indigenous people either, so the best bet is not to talk about indigenous peoples as if they’re a monolith and instead use narrower terms for just the groups you’re discussing.
Also… yikes. The indigenous people were just like "no, no it’s cool, take our land, we’ve been wanting a smaller settlement anyway "
The trail of tears was from Florida to Oklahoma. We “gave” them Oklahoma and it was referred to as indaian territory
Then a few years later we took Oklahoma back from them, lol, and opened up the land runsl. I live in Oklahoma and the trail of tears was drilled into our heads throughout the years in public schools. Are they not teaching it anymore??
Either way we seriously fucked over a bunch of tribes. Seminole, Cherokee etc
looks like an older Canadian textbook, not US.
trail of tears is a centerpiece in any section on native American history in US schools.
