100% ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
In Canada, the word "Native" is commonly used to refer to Aboriginal or
Indigenous people, as distinguished from people whose forebears came
to Canada from abroad as settlers, traders, or immigrants.
Ordinarily, the word "native" is used to denote a person's birthplace; for
example, a native of Vancouver, a native of Scotland, or a native of
Rome. In some countries that were under colonial rule, the word was
used in a derogatory way for Indigenous people. For example, in the
Republic of South Africa during the era of apartheid (racial segregation),
"native" was used to identify black South Africans as distinct from (and
inferior to) white South Africans, who referred to themselves as
"Europeans" - Precise Answer ✔✔
The Concept of Identity in the Social Sciences

social roles, personal traits, or images that people have adopted for
themselves.
Erik Erikson -
With respect to an individual person, "identity" may refer to someone's
character, or mental or moral attitudes.
"Identity crisis," can be very serious for a person who moves between

values of the new society without question.
The person may then make a positive identification with Indigenous
cultural values, without rejecting outright the values of the new or

Answer ✔✔
The Concept of "Indian"
In 1492, Christopher Columbus, mistook the Bahamas as the East Indies.
Indigenous people from this region were perceived as being
compassionate, generous, and peaceful.
Convinced that he had reached the East Indies, Columbus referred to
those he encountered as "Indians."
European explorers, traders, and colonizers used the term "Indian" (or
"Red Indian") to identify the Indigenous inhabitants of the Western
Hemisphere.
However, the enduring impact of the attempted colonization of
Indigenous peoples has been that the inclusive term has been forced on
them, to the extent that some Indigenous peoples use the term for self-
identification.
, Clearly, the term is controversial and has been a subject of intense
discussion.
Ethnographers, including Slobodin, have attempted to explore the
question "What is an Indian?" by considering the nature of Indian
groupings in the United States and Canada. - Precise Answer ✔✔
Implications of Legal Identity
Both the way the legal system identifies Indigenous peoples in Canada
and the way they identify themselves have cultural, social, and political
consequences.
Legal identification can allow the federal and provincial governments to
confer or deny rights and privileges to one or another group of
Indigenous people. Any discussion of legal identification must consider
whether it undermines the solidarity of Indigenous peoples, intentionally
or unintentionally. - Precise Answer ✔✔
Urbanization and Identity
1867 - British Government placed indians under the guardianship of the
Federal Government.
1876 - Indian Act was put in and implemented Indian assimilation and
the Reserve system. Geographical isolation was an imperative portion of
the assimilation.
