Exactly. That's what the title should be.

Why? It makes sense to call the first people living in the Americas “American”, especially when talking about a time before even civilizations.

So what, we have Asians, Africans, and Humans Living in North America?

[milesrout]

American refers to people from the USA. Canadians rightly bristle when called Americans.

[lotyrin]

Are you really proposing that Native Americans are not Americans? Is the term "American" so stained by colonialist hate?

[renewedrebecca]

Idk, seems like if you're already established somewhere and someone else comes in and tells you the place you live and your ancestors have lived in for millennia is now called "America"... Dunno, that feels kind of wrong.

[hulium]

Maybe their point is that they were native Asians and not native Americans.
