The First Nations in British Columbia
The First Nations of British Columbia refer to those people that can trace their ancestry to the aboriginal people that inhabited the land that is now BC prior to the arrival of Europeans and Americans in the late 18th century. These groups are commonly referred to by other names, including Aboriginals, Natives, Indians, Indigenous Peoples, and Indian Bands. The term First Nations is more commonly used now to remove the misnomer of ‘Indians’, which arose from the misconception by Christopher Columbus that he had landed in India. The term First Nations also avoids the often derogatory connotation associated with the terms native, indigenous and aboriginal.
