T_T im not going to lie, i actually dont know what he is trying to say, prolly because I need to see the entire comment chain and I am retarded. But the term native american is legal jargon and native isnt defined by originating here. If that was the case than supposedly were all natives of africa.
“Native” vs. “Indigenous”
Native American is a legal/official term used by the U.S. government to describe federally recognized tribes. The word itself was imported from English; it isn’t an original tribal name.
Indigenous peoples, in their own terms, identify as First Nations, Aboriginal, Tribal, etc. They are indigenous because they have lived on those lands for millennia and had social‑political systems before Europeans arrived.
Interestingly, there is a conspiracy over the original meaning of the word of America. Although mainstream says its most likely belongs to a italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci.
“Amaruca” (also rendered as Amaruqa or Amoroca) is an ancient Quechua‑derived name that literally means “Land of the Plumed Serpents.” The term combines amaru, meaning “serpent” or “snake,” and -qaqa/–qha (often interpreted as a locative suffix), giving a sense of “place of” or “land where.” In many Andean traditions, serpents—especially those adorned with feathers or considered divine—are powerful symbols associated with fertility, water, the underworld, and celestial realms. Thus, “Amaruca” evokes a mythical or sacred territory inhabited by these feathered, winged reptiles, reflecting both cosmological beliefs and the rich iconography of pre‑Hispanic cultures in the high Andes.
