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.

"Native American" in the USA often equates to the older term "American Indian" and at other times includes Alaskan Natives and Pacific Islanders.

In Canada, the term often equates to "indigenous" or "aboriginal" and so includes the First Nations, Metis and Inuit of Canada.
