Frequently Asked Questions
-
This is a common question and one that our organization discusses on a regular basis. Popular terminology has changed many times over the years. There is not a single term that universally reflects the diversity of Native Peoples…Indian, American Indian, Aboriginal, First Peoples, Indigenous People and more. Here at MKIM, you may experience a combination of these terms used interchangeably. Many people indicate that they would prefer to be identified by their Band or Tribal names, rather than any of the monolithic terms listed above. Out of respect for the many indigenous people across the continent, we recognize this wide variety of terms. Welcome to Mt Kearsarge Indian Museum.
