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.
