I've been rather insistent, but not getting a lot of reaction. Which is usual.
Document, document, document. Also think about how head-achey and/or sight-impaired you are willing to get before you go to OSHA, then let your boss know that, too.
Sorry if that comes across as too strident, but this issue is one of my hot buttons.
that was the term used in the treaties with the US government,
But Canadian First Peoples didn't have treaties with the US government. So what does one call them here, where First Peoples just creates confusion?
Oh, I found it under Imposter Syndrome. I love how many complexes and syndromes are all made up to describe "neurotic."
But hey! It looks like according to Caltech, extraodinarily gifted people tend to suffer from "imposter syndrome."
WhatEV.

Is this real? A reality series about women in a bookclub?
I get the sense it's like that OC Housewives show, but these women have the bookclub in common. And in Scottsdale.
Oh, this isn't a case of needing advice or pushing. I'm whining here because as with everything here, it's going to take for-fucking-ever. And that's with one of the staff sharing my office (he's been out all week, or I'd be wheedling favors.) I've had a computer up and die in the middle of critical tasks and had my division director yelling at people and it still took forever.

There are some tribes in MN that are starting to call themselves First Nation/First Peoples.
Oh. I didn't realize you were looking for a Canadian term. I'm kinda flighty today. Do you know what the term in Canadian/British documentation was? Not that that would be the way to go, but it would be an option, at least.

No, in Canada "First Peoples" gets the message across just fine. But when you're in the US, talking about a Cree from Montreal, what are you gonna say to the many people who've never used "First Nation/Peoples"?
I'd be tempted to say "First Peoples" just to try to get the term established.
I'd get "First Peoples," and I haven't been to Canada since I was 14.
