Instead, they prefer to be called Native People or Indigenous People.

Complete and utter BS. I've done a lot of work out on the REAL reservations in Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, and South Dakota, and up in Alaska Native villages, and guess what? Indians call themselves Indians and have no problem with that term. The only ones who do are the pompous self-appointed "leaders" who peddle this politically correct non-sense to promote their own self-serving agendas.

The same's true here in upstate New York, but bear in mind that this woman is a liberal Massachusetts Indian Native American indigenous woman person.

I was born here. I’m a native American.
