I am a Native American. That is, simply, someone who was born here.

Considering the continent is called "North America" We will always been known as "Americans" no matter what kind of totalitarian communist dictatorship it may become. Whether there will be such a thing as "The United States of America" is another thing however. We might revert to being called a Dakotan, or a Ohioan, Texan, etc.
We citizens of the USA mistakenly call ourselves by the continent name rather than citizens of the USA.

You are exactly right. That is why I always refer to myself as an American Indian.

Me too, and my family also since 5 relatives came over on the Mayflower...

I am too. My paternal ancestor jumped ship in New York Harbor - 1923. My husband's maternal ancestors came over on the Mayflower.
I am far more conservative than he is...but working on saving him.
