    I’ve only ever seen non-Native Americans say such things.

    Interesting.

    Indian is an excepted term and is included in the name of most organizations Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Indian Education, Indian Health Services, National Indian Gaming Commission, Indian Claims Commission, National Museum of the American Indian, and the official national title for the various tribes is called the American Indian Nations.

    Who came up with the names of all of these entities?
