Michael Linn's comments on "Native American" vs. "American Indian"

"Anishinabe" and "Assiniboine" mean? in what language? ADS members are

well-read, I know, but this I can't parse without help...





Well, related (sort of) is the fact that both "Navajo" and "Apache" are

hispanicizations of what the Pueblos called the peoples in question, both

of whom call themselves "Dine'" in their own Athebascan languages...
