Native Americans

Got saddled with the name Indian cause some stupid seaman was so lost he thought he was in India for godsakes. They had no say on how this country was formed so calling them Americans seems stupid. Native seems o.k. but savage has some punch. Defination is "not domesticated or cultivated; wild."

Why don't the natives decide themselves what they want to be called? If the squaws get a vote, I like savage.
