Keys and the NY Times
04.25.07 (10:20 am)   [edit]

Mr. Nick gave me some keys last night. That was a shocker because I was expecting them to come far down the road. He had said he needed to get them cut, but he actually found some. We had talked about exchanging keys, but it was no rush. I can't even get him a fob to beep himself into my building.

I only recently started subscribing to the NY Times mailing list, and I quite enjoy the articles. There was one entitled "For Indian Victims of Sexual Assault, a Tangled Legal Path." In Canada, "Indians" are people from India (or have Indian roots) and we refer to what the NY Times calls these particular "Indians" as "First Nations" people. It kind of surprised me to see "Indian" being used in the NY Times.

That is surprising.

But maybe it is normal for Americans...I don't know all that much about American history!

I think they're "supposed" to call them First Nations, but I am not 100% sure.

That is what I call them, too! This morning, our local news reported that the BC legislature building will be removing some murals offensive to First Nations people in the near future.

I thought it was Native Americans but, I'm not sure either.

I think Native Americans would sound more correct than Indians!
