I know not everyone is the same with preference but the bolded part is what my native friend hates lol. They were here pre America so Native American sounds wierd. Just. Natives or The Natives.

America by itself has no ethnicity to call it's own as a country. As a part of land, it does and those are Natives.

Not particularly relevant to the conversation, but YouTube gave me this video of George Carlin several hours ago, and it feels particularly relevant to this post. 

"We steal their hemisphere, destroy five hundred cultures, kill 20,000,000, stick the rest of them on the worst land we can find and then as a special bonus we named them after ourselves"
