I can't let this cross my dash without bringing in the picture that @rustythechainsaw was inspired to draw when he first heard about this.

You have to give them costumes that signify who is who.  Like Jacket and Sweater in Pacific Rim.

….I think this is a Canadian textbook? I’ve never heard any textbook in the US refer to Native Americans as “First Nations” people.

Ah, yes, Snopes has it. Textbook is from Canada.

Which is absolutely not intended to exonerate American textbooks, which have done similar things. However, let’s also not forget that Canada treats their indigenous people the worst of any “developed” country in the world–yes, including the US.
