American Indian

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.

Nick India

Nick India is a international Nickelodeon counterpart that barley even airs any Nick US content. They removed SpongeBob for god's sake! What they air instead is a bunch of local shows and an overabundance of Motu Patlu instead. All the classic Nicktoons are aired on Nick HD+ instead (an exclusive Indian counterpart)
