Indian: designation that refers to the legal identity of a First Nations member who is registered under the Indian Act. This designation should be used only when referring to a First Nations member with status under the Indian Act, and only within its legal context. In other contexts, it is preferable to use the term "First Nation member" instead of "Indian;" however, some First Nation members may choose to refer to themselves as Indian regardless of the context. 3, record 1, English, - First%20Nations%20member

Indien; Indienne : désignations qui ont un sens juridique précis selon la Loi sur les Indiens. Même si elles sont aujourd'hui considérées comme désuètes, leur utilisation peut être indiquée dans certaines circonstances. En effet, il est préférable d'utiliser le terme «membre des Premières Nations» plutôt qu'«Indien» ou «Indienne»; cependant, certains membres des Premières Nations peuvent choisir de se désigner eux-mêmes comme Indien ou Indienne, quel que soit le contexte. 4, record 1, French, - membre%20des%20Premi%C3%A8res%20Nations
