Native American

The term Native American in its widest sense refers to all of the indigenous people of the Americas. More narrowly, this term is used in the USA to name indigenous people living within the boundaries of the nation.

Coyote, who is the creator of all of us, was sitting on his cloud the day after he created Indians. Now, he liked the Indians, liked what they were doing. This is good, he kept saying to himself.
