What you've said there pretty much applies to every aboriginal tribe in North America. Few (if any) of them ever named themselves, but named other distinct tribes based on easily-discernible characteristics.
The Nez Perce, for example, means "pierced nose." There would have been no need for this group to come up with a name like this to describe themselves based on a self-adopted characteristic of the tribe.
