I suppose it is PC, but I don't care.  The term sounds better and makes more sense.  I do not see why "Native American" nor "American Indian" are offensive.  "Native American" isn't going out of one's way to be politically correct (it's two letters shorter!), nor is it a new term, so I really do think that complaining about its use is just reverse PC.

How about AmeriIndian. That's the newest one I've heard.....

meh I prefer the older names....
