He then told me that Indians refer to each other as.....Indians.

Of course they do. And anyone else is welcome...to call them ...Indians. Anybody else that think that is wrong is fishing for issues to flaunt around.

What do they want to do pretend the America "Indians" never existed?

No, the name never really existed. C. Columbus may be the original stuped, mean European white man when landing on Hispanola turned to his crew and asked, "Did you ever see so many friggin' Indians?" An American Army horse officer was suspected of saying the same thing four centuries later.

Oh well, here in Washington State we had to get rid of the two names "Squaw Tit Mountain" and "Nigger Head Rock," among others that were thought to offend.
