<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 3854752, member: 13430"]Although its etymology may be rooted in error, and it's open to confusion with folks from India, the term "Indian" for Native Americans is pretty well baked into the the language. Go to any official tribal website and the word is easily found, and obviously not used pejoratively. At least in the area I roam (US mountain west), it's a pretty common term in "Indian Country". "Native American" may be safer and more respectful, but I don't think using "Indian" is necessarily disrespectful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
