It depends on the year and the source. They were Indians for a long
time, then more politely referred to as native, then indigenous. The
most common these days is First Nation, playing on the suggestion that
they were actually real nations with established boarders. If they were
really nations there would be a small number of them, not the 634 that
are recognized.

One of the latest unacceptable names is Eskimo. Some people consider it
to be a pejorative, apparently having some negative connotation. White
people get the blame for it, but it was the name that the natives of the
north called them.
