"Native Americans" seems to be preferred in the U.S. "First Nations" appears to be the usage in Canada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Nations_of_Canada |

Since I am Native American myself, I would say that it is a personal preference. I prefer Native American, but I know a few who prefer American Indian, or to just be referred to by their tribe in general. Either one is considered, "politically correct," but you may want to check with whomever you are talking to to see which they prefer. |
