Native American is just a pc term someone came up with a while ago. |
Many of the tribes around here prefer the term Native American. They use it on their literature.
My friends and family that have tribal affiliations use the term Native American. OK even uses the term in their tourism literature.
Most Native Americans that I know take great offense to being called an "Indian," and the few Indians I know also don't like the term being used to refer to Native Americans.
