Not sure about the States, but there hasn't been any discussion dealing with what Natives are to be called. Out of respect, they are mostly referred to as "Native Americans", but that is a term developed and given by white men, thus I don't think it is the most politcally correct (In fact, I think it's slightly insulting). Having grown up with the Native culture all around me, I've learned many things, one of which is that they are very much like blacks in North America. They tend to refer to themselves and friends as Indians, in much the same way a black teen will call his friends "******s". Anyway, going back onto topic, I haven't hearcd anything about that, but I could be wrong.
