Look at how many posters on Free Republic use the term “Native American.”
Members of the various tribes have genetic markers showing that their ancestors came from what, prior to 1991, used to be called Soviet Central Asia, others came from coastal China.
Their ancestors came across the land bridge now known as the Aleutian Island eons ago, long before people of European ancestry crossed the Atlantic.
The proper term should be First Peoples, or First People not “Native Americans.”
I still call them “Indians”; to differentiate them from people from India I refer to anyone who looks like an Indian citizen as a “Hindu”. As inaccurate as both of those temrs may be, nobody has ever misunderstood my meaning when I use them.
I find that "Indian" works as well today as it did for the first 600 years in the New World.
"First Peoples" is just as PC as "Native Americans."
