Personally, I don’t like the terms Indian or Native American when referring to the pre-Columbian dwellers of the Americas. They aren’t from India, and anyone who is born here is technically a native… I could deal with Indigenous Americans, or Pre-Columbian Americans, because technically they’re just early adopters of the continent.

Random factoid: Eastern Indigenous Americans are probably actually descended from the Celtic people, not the Russo-Asians like the Western and Northern ones.
