In reply to M. Thanks for your comment. I believe it is a difference between the US and Canada. Many Native Americans here in the States do use the term "American Indian." I personally use "Native American," when I am speaking or writing if I don't know the exact name of the Nation (like Sioux, Navajo, etc.) but will change that if I'm ever told differently. I think I must have used the term "American Indian" here because the author used it, but I can't remember.

Great list - I'm not certain if this is just a Canadian and American difference but maybe that's all it is - when describing characters in I Can Make This Promise, referring to them as Indians wouldn't be the best term to use - I know Canadians use First Nations and Indigenous peoples
