The government asks if you're American Indian, which has a specific meaning (to them). Now, this is all self-identification, so you can say what you want, but you're probably not an American Indian.
If something actually says "Native American", well, that's dumb; check which box you want.
I honestly don't know a better term than American Indian. Canada's term is dumb because the tribes that are recognized weren't the First Nations, obviously. They were the last ones before white people got there. Should be called Last Nations. We already covered Native American. Maybe Bering Strait-American. Bering Land-Bridge American. That at least makes sense.
