I know this ain't the place to discuss this, but when I got my BSc our profs wouldn't even allow us to use that term for animals, because like people, they migrate. Even to the point of being transported by some means (like floating on debris, swim, or flying) to get to isolated islands. These animals may evolve further in isolation, but they still ain't "indigenous" by definition.
First Nation peoples are the first to get to NA and "set up shop", undisputable. But indigenous, nope. - bloatedmosquito
In Canada, Indigenous is a blanket term for Inuit, First Nations, and Metis. However, these are three distinct groups. Furthermore, there are many cultural and language differences amongst Indigenous peoples.
If you are speaking with an individual or community, try to learn what they prefer. For example, someone who is Cree will want to be identified as Cree and not Indigenous or First Nations.
The guy is a fantastic player, he's just selfish and isn't afraid to throw his teammates under the bus, which doesn't go over well in dressing rooms....I can tell you from personal experience dealing with people like this. - LeftCoaster

This is always the correct way. Many don't have preferences, but it can never hurt to ask.
You need to chill out man. Hurling insults at people does not make you look any less wrong or morally superior or whatever you're going for. - NorthNuck
Old man? Is that suppose to be an insult? Pick up a book now and then you might get an education instead of hitting the bottle up North.
You will learn that by the time you started reading my post to the time you finished it you are already older?
When TF was it a bad thing to get old? If your ignorance doesn't get you killed at an earlier age you will learn that people in the sixties are capable of doing things and not just sitting in a wheelchair waiting to die.

Neem gets mad at people for saying they want an Eskimo Pie on a hot sunny day.
I just am compassionate towards how much struggle you have, truly must have made life difficult - neem55
You wish your life was as good as mine pal. I didn't go around my whole life raging war against everyone and everything. You must have been really had a rough life if you are ready to fight everyday.
I haven't hated a player this much since Messier. - Marwood
That’s so weird man. Borderline psychotic. You hate Miller more than Loui, Beagle, Schmidt kassian etc. all of the trash that has come through this town. Miller cares and he is a terrific player. He must have done something personal to you.

From NHL Board of Governors: teams will not wear specialty jerseys in warmups next season. Also: Cap, Ottawa, Arizona and other topics. With Commissioner Gary Bettman here
Interesting interview discusses cap, warm up jerseys , and certain teams.

Do you mean just North America?
It's very disputable actually if we are talking "the Americas".
For many decades archeologists in Brazil have been uncovering Oceanic Negroid sites going back to 50,000 BC. The sites show Mongoloid artifacts to a certain depth(25,000 BC iirc) then there is a shift to what we know as Aboriginals. Not just that but they have also unearthed many skeletal remains that experts agree are Negro and carbon dated to the same time frame. It's been argued back and forth about smoking gun evidence but just a few years ago, Harvard and another university in Siberia did the gene research on first nations and there was the marker at the same time frame as the other discoveries. Also confirmed was gene samples from the area of origin(Central Siberia) for todays "First Nations" did not show this marker in that time frame so they didnt already have it upon arrival. Seems pretty obvious.
Still hotly debated if this is now in fact the smoking gun. The only real argument against it is that 50,000 years ago, Siberians brought slaves to America and didnt breed with them until they arrived. That's a pretty weak argument considering Oceanics populated every where else that far south in the world including countless Islands. They were sea travelers that far back... we know this for certain. There is actually no hard evidence of Siberians in America going back 50,000 years. You can't demand a smoking gun for one claim then dismiss it in counter argument. One thing is for certain.... it's far from "undisputable" that todays "First Nations" were the very first Americans.
Think about it this way. What is the smoking gun proof that no culture/race were here before them? There is none. It would be a unwinnable argument. On the other hand, there is mounting evidence of it otherwise. The idea we hold onto was introduced by ignorant Europeans a couple of centuries ago who had no real scientific evidence to back this claim up yet we treat this idea as undisputable. It's not a stretch that at least a small population of these people flourished in South America for 25,000 years like the rest of the southern reaches of the Southern hemisphere. More plausible than Siberians 50k years ago ending up where Brazil is today and with black slaves.

About himself.
The other trash you mentioned isn't worth the hate as that garbage comes & goes as part of the constant evolution of building a championship team that is the Vancouver Canucks saga.
I hated Matt Cooke a lot, too, he'd be # 3 on my player hate list.
