It is a general term that refers to a person or thing that has originated from a particular place. This term does not denote a specific Aboriginal ethnicity. In the United States, the term “_________ American” is in common usage to describe Aboriginal peoples. In Canada, the term “Aboriginal” or “Indigenous” is generally preferred to this. Some may feel that this term has a negative connotation and is outdated. This term can also be problematic in certain contexts, as some non-Aboriginal peoples born in a settler state may argue that they, too, are this.
