They don’t actually really like being called Native American though. That’s kind of a white thing.
There’s a reason Indian tribes are still called Indian tribes in the US and it’s because they’re fine with it. You just treat it as short for indigenous and you’re good.

Well, that's a big lie. I grew up on a reservation, an Indian Service Area, and still work on a reservation. Native American, Indian, American Indian are all used.
indigenous is the not a term originating with any tribe.
