The mixture of first-wave and second-wave genetic signatures in some Native Americans today indicates that the newcomers and existing populations interbred.Can we please not use the term Native American, especially when describing how they migrated here.

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.
