I’m a native American. I was born and raised in this country.

Me, too.

That does bring up an interesting discussion point, however. Should the populations discovered here and named Indian by European explorers be called something else since they are obviously not from India?

Besides the overly broad term, Native American (which, as you have noted, applies to you and me as well as the group so designated by the PC crowd), I have seen AmerInd and several others. Perhaps, they would be more correctly identified as Aboriginal Americans. What do you think?

I would have to go with *aboriginal* or *indigenous)

I vote you call me an Amerind. Native American.Or call us by tribes. Works for me. Just don’t call me late for supper.
