Actually, no, we (Canadians) call them "First Nations" (or, at least, that's the PC term). It does have a nice ring to it. And it makes more sense than "native" since humans aren't really native to any place (check your history books for how humans spread across the globe). And in the US (nowadays), it's "Native Americans". Calling them Indians was always silly as Indians live in India. :-) My, my, the things discussed on this list... :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
