Native American is the term applied to those inhabitants of the New World before the arrival of Columbus and their descendants per the US Census, BIA, and many other government agencies, along with the anthropology and history departments of universities across America. Many modern Native American groups are moving away from the use of the term Indian, as it is a name given to them by Europeans, and is not self-referent.
