I live a half mile from an Indian Reservation, everyone there calls themselves “Indians.” They have Indian Taco Sales, (NDN Tacos written on the signs). All the school buses say “Indian School” on the side, etc. They only call themselves Native Americans when talking to government officials.

Technically, they are still not "Indians". Native Americans, might be closer, but then, the term "American" came way after they had been the 'original' dwellers, so, "American" is not really applicable to them either.

I knew an indian who loved indian jokes and had an “Indians discovered America” sticker on his car. He and his buddy were playing a pow wow for the white folks and their “lyric” sheets blew away. He said, “We just started going ‘hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya!’ They didn’t know the difference!”

I thought it was “First Nations” now.
