Talk:Devils Tower National Monument

Preferred terminology
How do the Indigenous peoples of the U.S. prefer to be described? Native American? American Indian? Something else? Is "Indians" still used, as it is in this article? Natives? Ground Zero (talk) 09:52, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I am not Native, but on DailyKos, there's been a lot of discussion of this, and what the Native folks including long-time activists like Meteor Blades say is that all of the above are fine. I had thought that "Indian" without "American" before it would be offensive, but no, it isn't. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:46, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Just want to make sure we're not offending. Ground Zero (talk) 20:32, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Which we definitely should avoid doing. It's interesting how different the U.S. and Canada are in this respect. I like the Canadian expression, "First Nations", but "Indian Country" is used by Native Americans and others without any offense here in the U.S. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:40, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
