    It’s much easier to lump everyone together under the term Native-American (even when that term is inaccurate as they are not native to these lands either) than to refer to the Húŋkpapȟa, or the Sihásapa, or the Mnikȟówožu, of the Itázipčho, or the Oóhenuŋpa, or the Oglála, or the Sičháŋǧu, or the Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋ, or the Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋna, or the Isáŋyáthi, or the Bdewákhathuŋwaŋ, or the Waȟpékhute, or the SisÃ#thuŋwaŋ, and the Waȟpéthuŋwaŋ. I prefer the term Aboriginal-Americans for such folk but when I use it I generally get a huh? response.
    i too use "aboriginal"....maybe for a different reason though. We prob'ly have close to as many 'sub-continent' Indians in this nation now as we do 'new world' indians....mac

    And that only infuriates people from India.
    What we are now calling 'native Americans' is because when the first white folks arrived on the lower North American continent's Atlantic coastline, those folks THOGUHT they had sailed all the way TO India...so they stuck that name on them.

    Hey now, here's an idea--do a traditional 'Cowboys and Indians' movie, but have a bunch of Bollywood actors as the "Indians". I'm serious...
    LIttle Hindu shrine, tucked into the Anasazi Mountains.
    Would Indian Indians hunt buffalo?
