City based, white-skinned activists imported the term 'First Nations' from Canada and installed it in our universities. The term has nothing to do with our Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Given these facts, do you agree that it is insulting to call our Australian Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders 'First Nations' and to appoint an ambassador using that term?
