Have you ever heard of the American Indian Movement in the 1960's? You need to educate yourself before you write something you know nothing about.

I can definitely understand prefering to be refered to by tribal names. Each tribe is distinctly different. So it is an individual/tribal preference thing more so than a united front by all Native Americans saying the word "Indian" is wrong. Thank you for your help.

Most prefer to be referenced by their tribal name first and foremost. If you have to use one of the two general name categories then I think it goes pretty much either way depending on the tribe you are dealing with.
