This is where it gets fun - 'First Nations' include non-Canadian Inuits, but do not include Canadian Inuits. The reason being that the Nunavut lot arrived separately from the others after the Beringia land bridge between Russia and North America (no Alaska then obviously) disappeared -presumably they came by boat or spaceship. They have actually tracked the path of spear-heads across the countries though, and found that they came from very early boats, as far as they can tell. To include everyone, it is "Aboriginal peoples of canada" - still, anything is better than 'eskimo'.
When I was a kid, we didn't even know about pollution. Smoking was still good for your health back then as well.
Can we add Paul in there, just because arts define our culture and since he acts, writes, directs, produces, composes and sings and plays guitar, then we get 1 person for the price of 7, and that's gotta be good for population control and climate change!
