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.
Aboriginal Legal Service (NSW/ACT) The Aboriginal Legal Service (NSW/ACT) or ALS is a community-run organisation in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, founded in 1970 to provide legal services to Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders. The service was Australia’s first free legal service, setting the model for community legal aid and Aboriginal services Australia-wide. There are now legal services all across Australia.
