What the heck is an American Indian... No such thing exist unless you're talking about Indian Americans... From India... Maybe just use Indigenous or natives.

[@Lumpy1983]

We have been listed as American Indian for centuries now. No reason to change our name for other people. If anyone wanted to be correct on what to call us then call us by our tribal names. Remember that most tribal names on paper ain't the correct in a particular tribes language. We have Indian reservations, the BIA, AIM. All kinds people and governments have referred to us as American Indian. So why change?

[@pazzodi3]

@@Lumpy1983 because they haven't acknowledge what we call ourselves, that's why

[@tracyl222]
