They don’t actually really like being called Native American though. That’s kind of a white thing.

Well, that's a big lie. I grew up on a reservation, an Indian Service Area, and still work on a reservation. Native American, Indian, American Indian are all used.

indigenous is the not a term originating with any tribe.

I mean they don’t actually “really like” it, not they don’t “actually really” like it.

They are not such enormous fans of the term that you should be going around telling people to use it over other ones. And white people (who think “Indian” is a slur) do go around telling people this.

I question your information as that is so definitely not my life experience.

Don’t see what the disagreement about is. “They don’t care” is compatible with what I said. My point is you shouldn’t care.

indigenous is general term used worldwide. Ir is not name, it is descriptor.
