Go to "www.m-w.com" (merriam-webster), and
type "native american", not just
one word, and it will say it is a synonym for "american indian".
Click on "american indian" and it says:
: a member of any of the aboriginal peoples of the western hemisphere
except usually the Eskimos; especially : an American Indian of North
America and especially the U.S.
Isn't it politically incorrect to call Inuits "Eskimos" these days? ;)
