Should say American Indians.A Native American is technically anyone born in the US (though one could argue it could mean anyone born in North, South, or Central America).People use the term as a politically correct term, as in they were here first and the white man took their land.
An American Indian would be someone who moved from these United States to India. A more accurate term would be aboriginal Americans, or perhaps tribal Americans, if you don't know the specific name (Cherokee, Crow, Choctaw, etc.).

You have African-Americans, Irish-Americans, etc.; so, shouldn’t that be “Indian-Americans”?
Feather = American Indian
Dot = Indian-American.
