> Aboriginal Americans

Why FreedomPoster, you must be from my generation.
When I was in school (50s & early 60s) the PC term for indians as Aboriginal Americans. Americans like me were called Native Americans, because we were born here and our families had been here for generations.
In this day, how far back do you have to trace your ancestry to be able to use ther term Native. My family is traceable back 406 years.

I’m a tad younger. One just has to have a reasonable command of the language, and not be wedded to the constraints of political correctness (AKA cultural Marxism) to be able to come up with a properly descriptive term. You are, indeed, a native American.
