As per the Indian Act of 1876 (still in force today) it's the only term that bears any legal significance in Canada.

Using the hard -R was totally socially acceptable 150 years ago. So was the organized mass kidnapping, rape, and murder of Indiginous kids by the Canadian government that that very same act created.

Maybe those aren't the standards you should be choosing to hide behind.
