What is the name of the act which changed the collective noun of the group Byron Chief-Moon identifies with?
Indigenous peoples in Canada Indigenous peoples in Canada, also known as indigenous Canadians or aboriginal Canadians, are the indigenous peoples within the boundaries of present-day Canada. They comprise the First Nations, Inuit and Métis. Although "Indian" is a term still commonly used in legal documents, the descriptors "Indian" and "Eskimo" have somewhat fallen into disuse in Canada and some consider them to be pejorative. Similarly, "Aboriginal" as a collective noun is a specific term of art used in some legal documents, including the Constitution Act 1982, though in some circles that word is also falling into disfavour.
Body politic The body politic is a Medieval metaphor that likens a nation as a Corporation which had serious historical repercussions throughout recent history and therefore giving the Crown "As a legal entity today the Crown as executive is regarded as a corporation sole or aggregate",a corporate entity. Maitland argues that the crown is a convenient cover for ignorance and traces the legal term Crown as Corporation sole originally from the 16th century and argues that it was a political device ploy originally reserved for the monarch of the day with the combination of medieval Roman law amalgamated into the early medieval domain of early church property law.A body politic comprises all the people in a particular country considered as a single group. The analogy typically includes reference to the Sovereign head of government as head of state, though the analogy may also be extended to other "anatomical" parts, as in political readings of Aesop's fable of "The Belly and the Members".
