My experience is that Canadian kids first learn about “Cowboys & Indians”, where “Indian” means "Native-American. Then at school, they learn that India and Indians refer to a far away country with cool tigers and cobras, and Europeans were just confused. Then, as adults, they learn about the “Indian Act” and go 🤔 🤨 🙃
As an Indian-Canadian I had to look up what this was as it wasn’t what I expected.

not enough cool tigers in my opinion.
