I'm going to anger some people but here I go anyway. I don't like being called indigenous just call me native american.

Indigenous makes me sound primitive. I am NOT primitive. But hey aren't you mixed? Yes I'm only half native and the rest of me mexican but still I am not primitive. Making me sound like I'm some lesser type of human and what not.

I respect your impressions. Had a simular discussion at my workplace last. These things go in phases, I'm afraid. Like in Dutch there are two terms for describing prehistoric times: either it's "oertijd" or it "prehistorie". The first one can be losely translated as primitive times and the second as prehistoric times. People who like so-called new age stuff will go for the first because they somehow claim that they are the outspring of all that. Lets jump all the way there because that's how we feel, etc. There will be a point in time again when society allows to close down that because it really can't go on. One generation will be looking back whilst the next is trying to jump forward for real instead, and that will happen again soon enough
