It seems so. Greenland as First Nation is straight up chauvinism.

- Apocryphon 1y agoGreenland is mostly populated by Inuits
- tokai 1y agoPrecisely «First Nations (French: Premières Nations) is a term used to identify Indigenous peoples in Canada who are neither Inuit nor Métis.» If you can make space for New Netherland, it doesn't make any sense to collapse all northern native cultures together, when they are just as or even more diverse than the US east cost.
- cgh 1y agoWas just about to type this comment. Allegedly, the guy who came up with the term “First Nations” was from a group (Athabaskan? I don’t remember) who were historically at war with the Inuit, so he left them out. Pretty ridiculous. I’m pretty sure everyone involved would be annoyed at getting grouped together into the same “nation”.
