I am a native American.

If he wan't to do something for Indians, why doesn't he just say Indians?

I think the term “American Indian” is not considered to be politically correct anymore. I bet that is why he didn’t say Indians.

There were no NATIVE Americans. Your ancestors came from Siberian hunter groups...across the Bering Strait from ASIA to Alaska when it was a connected land mass. They were NOT "Indians."
Those Siberian hunter groups WERE, however, the FIRST Americans. You DO have THAT bragging right for all eternity.

As for the name "Indians," remember, Columbus thought he had reached the HOME of INDIANS....INDIA, that is, as in Asia. There have been Indians in India for THOUSANDS of years.
