You first write of North American institutions and then reference a British Encyclopedia.
I hate to spoil your Greek party, but no North American institution derives its research from the Encyclopedia Britannica.
That is preposterous.

Here is the part you left out.
The origin and identity of this people are much debated and are at the centre of a heated modern dispute between those who argue that this people should be considered ethnically Greek and those who argue that they were not Greek or that their origin and identity cannot be determined (see Researcher’s Note: Macedonia: a contested name).
This dispute hinges in part on the question of whether this people spoke a form of Greek before the 5th century bce; it is known, however, that by the 5th century bce the Macedonian elite had adopted the Greek language and had also forged a unified kingdom.
This does not make Macedonia a Hellenic legacy.
