The politically correct term here in Canada is now "First Nations People" but that also doesn't help the joke. |

Surely cowboy is also an offensive term. Shouldn't it be something like catlle management officer? |

spot on Sharron - I recently read a book called "Bury my heart at wounded knee" - heartbreaking account of the inhumanity shown to the native American people by so-called civilised people |
