Answer:

First Nations

Step-by-step explanation:

Turtle Island is a name for the Earth or for North America, used by some US Indigenous and First Nations people and by some Indigenous rights activists.

My understanding was that Europeans called it Novus Mundus (New World) before it was called America. Before that "The Indies". Also, it was called New Spain. Of course, all the Native peoples had their own names in hundreds of languages, although not all had an idea of the geography of a whole continent.

hope it's correct
