Native American
[edit] Description and usage
The term Native American was introduced in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s by those who hoped it would be more accurate than Indian and free from its negative stereotypes. What it means exactly depends on the context of its use, and who is using it, and is thus often a great source of confusion. It can mean:
All indigenous peoples of the Americas;[citation needed]
All Indians of the Americas, thus excluding the Yupik, Inuit, Aleut, native Hawaiians and others who arrived later;[citation needed]
"Indian, Native Hawaiian, or Native American Pacific Islander." (Native American Languages Act of 1990);[20]
All indigenous peoples of the Americas, including the U.S. and Canada but not including Mexico or further south;[citation needed] and
Anyone born in the Americas, including those of European descent, for example (with "native" typically spelled with a lower case "n").[citation needed]
Many of those who are covered by the term strongly prefer "American Indian" over "Native American".[21][22] According to the US Census Bureau, as of 1995 50% preferred "American Indian", 37% "Native American", and the remainder preferred other terms or had no preference

They prefer Native American.
But your credibility was already shot when you mentioned the contents of a PM.
