maybe because native americans would be the term and your question sounds purposefully obtuse and perhaps even discriminatory? just a guess.

just a guess.
- imron 9y agomaybe he's not talking about native americans, but trying to distinguish between people of indian descent who grew up in the US vs people who grew up in india and then moved to the US for study/work opportunities.
- hhw 9y agoI would have interpreted his question as whether they were East Indians with US citizenship or not. Also, I believe First Nations tends to be the preferred term over indigenous, aboriginal, or native american.
- Aloha 9y agoI've only heard First Nations used in the context of Canada - Native American I believe is still the preferred term in the United States.
