Re: Foreign sounding names

Doesn't matter so much here; apart from the First Nations, everyone is a foreigner And most Aboriginal people have English/Scottish/French names. Aboriginal languages only survive as co-opted words; "vegetarian" for example is an Algonquin word meaning "he who can't hunt worth a damn."
