> I'm for this too in theory, but when people pick terms that are confusing it kind of bugs me. "Native American" is a great example (and so is the older "Indian"). I think "American Indian" is nice and clear, with little chance for confusion (since "Indian-American" should mean an American whose family comes from India).

Native Americans should now be referred to as "North American-Americans". I think this should clear up any and all confusion on the subject.
