Why 'American Indian?'
It is the policy of the NC Commission of Indian Affairs to use the term American Indian.
American Indians are considered the indigenous people of this continent and have been referenced in many long-standing treaties of the U.S. Government.
Many state and federal statutes and regulations refer to the indigenous peoples of the United States as American Indians.
Therefore, the Commission has determined that for consistency it is in our best interest to use the term American Indians in our policies, reports, and legislation. This policy was established by the Commission many years ago to avoid any confusion about to whom we are referring when we refer to the indigenous people of the United States.
