English Usage - American Indian.

The term American Indian has been steadily replaced in the US, especially in official contexts, by the more recent term Native American (first recorded in the 1950s and becoming prominent in the 1970s). Some people prefer Native American as being a more accurate and respectful description as well as avoiding the stereotype of cowboys and Indians in the stories of the Wild West. American Indian is still widespread in general use even in the US, however, perhaps at least partly because it is not normally regarded as offensive by American Indians themselves. Nevertheless, since the category American Indian is very broad, it is preferable, where possible, to name the specific people, e.g. Apache, Comanche, or Sioux.
