Spanish term or phrase: \"Indios canadienses\"
A pesar de que en español existe una amplia discusión en ciencias sociales sobre el uso de los términos "indígenas" o "indios", y de que muchas veces se prefiere y privilegia el uso del término "indígenas", la palabra "indios" aparece en muchos textos: ¿cómo se traduciría a inglés el término "indios canadienses"?

"Los indios canadienses pueden separarse en diez familias diferentes"

Tomado del texto: "Historia universal en el siglo XX"

Colombia
English translation:Canadian First Nations
Explanation:
I find it outrageous to read that term "indios", some people may think it refers to Canadians with an Indian background. The accurate translation is Canadian First Nations (Capitals) - I studied Anthropology

También se les llama Canadian Aboriginal Peoples

Aboriginal peoples in Canada, or Aboriginal Canadians, are the indigenous peoples within the boundaries of present-day Canada. They comprise the First Nations,[2] Inuit[3] and Métis.[4] The descriptors "Indian" and "Eskimo" have somewhat fallen into disuse in Canada and are sometimes considered pejorative.

First nations people


Explanation:
This is the preferred term these days for the old term "indian". Check out the Inuit website given below for an in-depth review of the terms First Nations, aboriginal people, aboriginal peoples, etc.
The government of Canada website is in agreement with their definitions, it seems.

neutral  John Detre: "Aboriginal" is widely used but it does not mean exactly the same thing. Aboriginal includes not only First Nations but also Inuit and Métis, who are not "indios."
