‘’I would rather they identify themselves by the tribal nation they are a member of. Then -American.’’

But think of the hundreds of tribal names, its too confusing. Native does seem to work and it’s historically accurate.
What is truly stupid is Russian-American, German-American, Irish-American, Japanese-American and yes -African-American. They are all labelling titles that are divisive within America and serve no positive interest.

If a person emigrates to France do they call themselves German-French, Jordanian-French, Egyptian-French. Or Australia: Irish-Australian, Portugese-Australian, Swedish-Australian.

I hope other countries don’t hyphenate their citizens in this way.

I understand your point. Alaska was bought from the Russians a long time ago as I understand. Then it became a commonwealth, like Puerto Rico and Hawaii. Basically it's own country. People from DC go there and are basically asking- "What country are you from with your flagrancy?"

You can't call Inuits Indians. There is no connection. And they haven't built a casino so far. They are fine with a lot of other work. And I don't see illegal aliens going there to serve drinks and food at the tables. They may lose their tan.

Tribal Nations should identify themselves - American. That would screw up identity politics for liberals by sheer overloads and make them go nuts. Then they would also have to add white heterosexual males. Lesbian females.

It would fall under it's own weight. That's the reasoning I came to. Everybody would have a claim for a job based on a status. This entitlement idea will fail.

Too bad Ayn Rand isn't with us anymore. 'Atlas Shrugged' may be where we are going. That book is from 1957.
