Literature-specific definitions

Mononk Jules by Jocelyn Sioui

Le mot Indien, comme le mot sauvage, est généralement perçu comme péjoratif par les Autochtones. Malgré tout, certains membres des Premières Nations utilisent toujours cette étiquette par laquelle ils ont été longtemps désignés. On peut d’ailleurs comprendre cette initiative comme la réappropriation d’une étiquette dénigrante8. De plus, ce mot est toujours d’usage courant dans la sphère légale en raison de l’existence de la Loi sur les Indiens.

Si vous avez des questions sur la terminologie à utiliser en contexte autochtone, vous pouvez consulter ce guide conçu par Mikana en 2022.

Ronnie uses this word to describe herself in two separate prose poems. The word appears in quotation marks, which may suggest this term has been used against her as an insult. Though the term “Indian” is still used in legal contexts by the Canadian government, it is not an appropriate term to use to identify First Nations in other contexts. Chelsea Vowel explains, “Many people agree that the term ‘Indian’ is a somewhat outdated and inappropriate descriptor and have adopted the presently more common ‘First Nations.’” ¹ 1 Vowel, Chelsea. “Got Status?
