Thread Name: BS: Indian or Native American?
Subject: RE: BS: Indian or Native American?
I, too, like "First Nations" and applaud Canadians for thinking it up.

But I'll use "Indians" or "American Indians" or, better, refer to the nation of the person.

As a Potawattomi once said to me, "God, don't call me a Native American! Anybody born here is a native. Call me a Potawattomi or, if you really must, an Indian."
