Well, it's not Native American in the North American sense, but I do have some Maori blood in me - they're the native peoples of New Zealand.

If you'd learn some spanish, then you'd know that in spanish they are simply referred to as indios while in english they are referred to as amerindians or american indians.

Keep trying useless idiot.

maybe useless retards should read the dictionary more often


Usage Note: The contractions Amerindian and Amerind occur infrequently in modern American English, especially with reference to the Native American peoples of the United States and Canada. They are somewhat more common in anthropological contexts or when used of the native peoples of the Caribbean and Central and South America.

there isnothing wrong with calling them native americans unless you got some particular bs to pull.

Besides we talking in English here not Spanish. Theres nothing in Aurelius post which says we speaking about spanish speaking Native americans

I don't know any Native Americans who use the term 'Amerindians' Most use Native American, American Indian, or just plain Indian. Amerindians sounds fucking retarded, to be honest. I prefer Native American.

How long do you have to sit somewhere before you're native? I was born in the US. Everyone in my family was born in the US, yet since I'm white I'm somehow not a Native American? Native Americans came from Siberia anyway, didn't they?

Canadian English has gotten past all this bullshit anyway.

"Aboriginals." They are American aboriginals. Not Amerindians, American Indians, etc.

yeah just what i thought. some ppl are just jealous


Native Americans in the United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska. They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which still endure as political communities. There is a wide range of terms used, and some controversy surrounding their use: they are variously known as American Indians, Indians, Amerindians, Amerinds, or Indigenous, Aboriginal, Original Americans, or Red men.

Indigenous is better I think.
