What is UBC Indigenous Peoples Language Guide about?

The document provides guidelines for using respectful terminology when referring to Indigenous peoples in Canada. It explains that terminology has often been used in damaging ways and prefers terms like "Indigenous peoples" rather than "people" to recognize distinct groups. The guidelines recommend terms to use such as Indigenous, Aboriginal, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit as well as terms to avoid like Indian and Native. Capitalization of key terms is also addressed.
