Can we please not use the term Native American, especially when describing how they migrated here.
There was a fourth wave that was far larger and really populated North America.
The dominant Haplotype was R1B. The Atlantic Modal Haplotype.
But since that comes from Western Europe, I guess the Italian professor doesn’t want to talk about it.
Pre-Columbian, hegemonic Occupiers.
The proper term is of course aboriginal.
But knowing their own migration paths and timing, even that can be sketchy to use. They aren't really "indigenous", just earliest arrivals.
And the use of the reference word for Amerigo Vespucci to describe them borders on hilarious.
So.....we have “Sovereign Nations” of Chinese within our borders. That’s racist and discriminatory. The French don’t have their own sovereign nations within our borders. I think it’s time we quit pulling their rickshaws and let them be Americans.
We are all immigrants.
I use the term "Native American" because the term "Indian" is wildly inaccurate, and there is no accurate term by which to call them. "Native American" is the best among poor choices.
What’s the source of the map? I’d like to see it with the explanation of the populations denoted by the letters.
Aborigine: A member of the indigenous or earliest known population of a region
Which means of course that only the first-wave immigrants here discussed qualify. The second and third waves are no more aboriginal than the European fourth wave.

"Indian" is a morphing of "en Dios," the second half of what the Spanish missionaries called the continental inhabitants: "niños en Dios," meaning children in God.
"Native American" is the best among poor choices.
I would think that the best choice, though it will never catch on south of the Canadian border, is "First Nations," meaning the nations who were here first.
How about Paleo-Americans.
There are no humans native to the Americas...everybody migrated here.
The "en Dios" version sounds like a later invention.
Good point. And a large percentage of them are native Americans, having been born in America.
How about "Amerindian"? Still has lot of syllables though.
Personally, I like "NDN".
That's right. Just like the rest of us, they're the descendants of immigrants.
In reality, with the possible exception of West Africa, every nation in the world is populated by people whose ancestors came from somewhere else. We're all "nations of immigrants."
