My preference is to use the term 'First Generation' or, Cousins (Dad's
side of the family, back when this land was still Territory)
As the years roll by, and the Political Correctness takes its cycles,
things change. One of these days, hopefully, people will stop this
eggshell walking and really start talking to each other.
In the meantime, can we get back to talking about Food?
I am fixing Black-eyed peas, Collard Greens and candied Sweet Potatos
for New Year's day. The meat portion of the day is up in the air. We
are tired of Turkey, and Ham. Any suggestions that won't break the
bank?
Thanks!

Actually, I'm informed that's no longer true. Eskimo is being used as
the
reference, according to what I hear.
Even if it is not, it is inaccurate to use Athabaskan or Inuit. Those
are
merely two TRIBES. There's also Yupiq, Inupiaq, Aleut, and so on.
The term "Arctic Native" would be more accurate, to distinguish between,
say, Yupiq, and North American Natives, like Klinkit/Tlingit.
