The first people of North America. The word Indian has slid into uncomfortableness because of political correctness, but chill, Indians themselves prefer Indian over Native American. The reason being is that Native American can mean any indigenous inhabitant of the Americas, whereas Indian is used just for the first people of US and Canada. NOT OFFENSIVE.
Use Indian or American Indian (not Indian American) to refer to the first people of US and Canada
Use Native American or Amerindian to refer to the first people of North and South America and Greenland collectively.
Use Native American or Amerindian to refer to the first people of North and South America and Greenland collectively.
