Indigenous Canadians are also known as Aboriginal Canadians or First Peoples who are the indigenous peoples within the boundaries of Canada. They comprise the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Although "Indian" is a term still commonly used in legal documents, the descriptors "Indian" and "Eskimo" have somewhat fallen into disuse in Canada, and some consider them to be pejorative "Aboriginal" as a collective noun is a specific term of art used in some legal documents though in some circles that word is also falling into disfavour.
