Elaborate please, unless you made a typo. It sounds contradictory.

re: kids table..It's funny and kinda true in some respects, but Canada is also a G7 country, so I guess it sits at the adult table sometimes.

re: Native American terminology. I watched a Joe Rogan podcast less than a year ago, and his guest was an indigenous lawyer of sorts. She consistently referred to parts of Oklahoma as "Indian lands", and referred to treaties as "Indian treaties",,She actually used the word "Indian" quite bit when she referred to her people(s)..Before the podcast aired, I actually thought that Americans in general still used "Indians" for Indigenous people tbh.
