a south Louisiana tribe, told me that he didn't like being called Native American, either. He also didn't like to be referred to as indigenous. He wanted to be called an Indian, and it seems that a lot of Natives refer to themselves as Indians and that's what they prefer to be called.

That guy doesn't speak for all Indians. Everybody is getting more political these days. Everything you say is parsed and searched for hidden slander. Different groups of Indians call themselves different things. This guy obviously doesn't like to be called a lot of different names, which is his right,but he's getting too bent out of shape about it. We can converse without getting angry, can't we?
