I harvested from First Nations land (Indians, if one wants to be outright rude). ...
We have First Nations folks around here (the Caldwell band just got a $113 million dollar government settlement) And they all refer to themselves as "Indians". My rock band was nominated for 3 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards and the Natives who did speeches refered to themselves as "Indians" or "Natives". I agree its not a correct name for the people (Eskimo=Inuk) but I don't think its considered "outright rude".... well, atleast around here, anyway.
Good to know if I ever get over to BC again.
That is some high quality fatwood, too!
