I Am American Indian

I don't like the term "Indian" for indigenous people of North America. It seems pretty outdated, especially since it's being more properly used to refer to people of Indian descent. I've always preferred to be called Native American or even indigenous. I don't get offended when someone calls me an Indian but I would much rather they didn't.

i'm meh since i'm interracial *incl* w/the cherokee and blackfoot tribes. (the rest german, middle eastern and somewhere from africa, country has no determinate government or establishment... ?!?!)

too much has passed and it will never be understood and this goes for all 'races' and such.

to think... we should have moved on from this technicality and gone onto bigger things.

(but, where's the fun in that? right? :P :/ )
