  • Here let me make it easy for you all, we'll forget both names and everyone can start calling us "those who belong here" or better yet, wherever you live, learn the proper word for "ndn" or "human of your host Nation. ie ours is Kelmukw

  • @travesty70 that's by far the best comment I've seen so far! I'm with you. Btw, I wasn't trying to demean anyone except for myself for being "ignorant" for the sake of a silly joke.

  • my full blood cousins call themselves Indians

  • im Native and I personally don't get it why some of us feel offended by it ... I live on the rez and PLENTY Natives say Indian just because they do and it's not like saying the n word or anything but I have been told that some Natives don't like it because they don't want to be mistaken by India Indians.

  • When we found Columbis, cause his dumb arse was lost. He thought he landed in India. But now that the India Indians are the real Indians, government had to give us a name. Hence forth Native Americans. And no, we do not live in Tee-Pees.
