I think the real reason liberals are pushing the term is to eliminate any reference to the fact there were people here before the white man arrived.
The Canadians are at least as liberal, and they have taken to using the term "First Peoples", which is in a sense more descriptive than "Native Americans".

You’re assuming that First Peoples are actually descendants of the first people and not of people who came later and slaughtered the first inhabitants.

My Canadian cousins use the term “Aboriginals”.
