Canada's treatment of First Nations is pretty ugly, especially the first three quarters of the 20th century. There is huge sensitivity to that here. Also, Indians make up about 30% of this areas population, they resent being called "east Indian" as my friend Bondhar says "I know of no one born in east India."
You simply don't use terms like that here.
Good luck with this. I've had this argument several times here and all I can say is, the perception of these things is different in the US than Canada.
