Who does the term 'Indian' refer to and what are they now referred to as?

Refers to Inuit, now called Eskimos
Refers to all Aboriginal peoples not Inuit or Metis, now called First Nations
Refers to French-speaking Aboriginals, now called Francophones
Refers to Anglophone Aboriginals, now called Anglo-Indians

The correct answer is: Refers to all Aboriginal peoples not Inuit or Metis, now called First Nations

The term 'Indian' was widely used to refer to all of the indigenous people living on the land that is now known as Canada. However, this term has been deemed outdated and offensive. The Canadian government now uses the term 'First Nations' to refer to the aboriginal peoples, not including Inuit or Métis. Option A is incorrect because Inuit are not considered 'Indian.' Option C is incorrect because Francophones refer to people who speak French, not an ethnic group. Option D is incorrect because Anglo-Indians were a community of mixed race individuals in India, not indigenous peoples in Canada.
