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.
