But then if you call them Native Americans you are implying that the country was named America before they got here, which is also not true.
You could call them by the Nation of their people (Ojibwa, Souix, Yaki, Apache etc.) But if you choose to group them all in one big pot, Native People would be the correct term.

Do not come in here and be all politically correct just because your wife is not white. It's becoming painfully obvious that she is the sole reason you are even caring about any sort of political discussion on this site. Have some thoughts of your own for once.
