Hi,

I coined the term "Indigen" as a good
replacement but a friend who is
descended from the indigenous peoples of what is now known as North
America pointed out to me that it sounds too close to "indigent".
That's pretty much what the French called the natives of North America
- "les indigenes".
Of course they're not *really* indigenous, having walked over from
Eastern Asia :-)
