It's just like regular probate, except it involves "Indian trust property" 25 USC 348 and 373. Mostly will contests and paternity issues. 99% of the litigants are pro se. We push a lot of paper. More than you want to know here: www.indianwills.org/Attorney.htmlThe Indians I have asked prefer "Native American," feeling that "Indian" should refer only to natives of the subcontinent. Nonetheless, most of the statutes and regulations use the term "Indian." Not being a fan of political correctness, I tend to use "Indian" when speaking and writing. The Indians I have asked have said that they prefer to be referred to by name of their tribe. For example: Navajo, Ojibway, etc. Calling someone a Native American, per these reporters, is akin to calling someone a European when in fact there is a specific national culture that defines that European that said European would prefer to be tagged with. |

I wondered about that when touring DC and going past the "American Indian" Museum at the Smithsonian. Was surprised at the name.

As one whose spouse is part Cherokee, I tend to use NI rather than Indian and found that the family uses that, too. I view Indian as referring to the sub-continent.

NI? "Native Indian"?

Everyone born in this country is a native American although not everyone is Native American. By the same token you can be an Indian from India or an Indian from the US. It's clumsy but is based on the social and political climate of the time when the phrases are chosen. Note that the NAACP has not changed it's name although the terminology is now considered incorrect. I think the Australians got a closer match by referencing Indigenous peoples, but they no doubt chose that title after Columbus mistakenly chose "Indian."
Oklahoma's motto (on the license plates) is "Native America" but what then does that make the other 49 states and territories? I've also had a problem with being "American" because I'm from America but anyone from elsewhere in N or S America isn't American. It seems somewhat inaccurate. Maybe if people from the US were United "Statesers" or "Statesians" or even "Statesans" (none of us wants to be a "Statetician") rather than Americans, being Native American would be more definitive. And what about Indians from Canada or Mexico or elsewhere in the Americas? Are they too Native American?
