OBS

Aboriginal day school : In the Canadian government, to align with international usage, the term "Indigenous" should be used instead of "Aboriginal" to refer to First Nations, Inuit and Métis.

OBS

Indian day school: This term should only be used when it is part of a proper name or title (like the Federal Indian Day Schools Settlement Agreement), when quoting from a source that contains the term (e.g., a historical source), or when specifically describing or discussing this term.

OBS

externat indien : Ce terme tend à être remplacé par «externat autochtone». Le terme «externat indien» devrait uniquement être utilisé dans les citations (p. ex. passages tirés de sources historiques), dans les cas où l'on emploie une appellation officielle dont il fait partie (comme la Convention de règlement relative aux externats indiens fédéraux) ou lorsque le but est d'en faire une description ou une analyse.
