I was under the impression that since 2002, American Indian, has replaced Native American, as being more politically correct. I was told that the "Native" in Native American implied "savage." Can I hear any other views on this subject? If I am right, we should probably move Native American to American Indian. Any thoughts on this subject will be appreciated.

I haven't heard. To me "Native" means 'here first'.
Native, means that they are originally from that place. From that point of view, all non-inmigrant americans are native.
But is still a much better term than "American Indian" since the word "indian" comes from the early belief that America was indeed, India. I would keep the term Native American, since they are an american-born civilization.
i.e.-"ABORIGINAL implies having no known race preceding in occupancy of the region <the aboriginal peoples of Australia>." (http://www.m-w.com/)
Please sign your comments. As far as I'm concerned, political correctness is overrated and the most appropriate term is the person's actual tribe. 66.229.160.94 08:39, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
