Thanks, Jody, I did find RI friendly and interesting historically. I am sorry you do not like the term Native American and I get your point, but for now it is an acceptable term. I have discussed this with First Americans and they run the gamut as to opinion, from not caring if they are called Indian, to prefering only certain terms such as Native American, American of Native descent or First Nation's people. I prefer the First Nations term, but it has not gained in popularity as yet, although I have seen Amerindian being used. At least people recognise Native American as opposed to the catch-all Indian which is a misnomer anyway.

Finally, Jody, I know you mean well, but every one of those links I put in uses the NA term and they ARE First Americans, everyone of them! I don't think I have the right to tell them they shouldn't use that term.

Now, NYCKAT, good luck on finding what you want for a blessing and may you have a wonderful wedding!
