What's weird is saying "native" and "indian" interchangeably in 2024.

I'm falling into the old person category lately but prefer to stay in the know. What is the proper nomenclature in 2024?

Different people prefer different nomenclature, but the generally accepted standard has switched from native American a couple decades ago to American Indian now. IIRC the change happened because calling people natives sometimes seems synonymous with calling them primitive. Most US tribal groups use American Indian now

Thank you. That makes sense.
