Do you find this to be a generational issue? My Hopi stepmother (who is in her late 50s) prefers the term "Indian", but her daughter, who is in her mid 30s, prefers "Native American". Of course both would prefer to be referred to as "Hopi" but again, my stepsister is more adamant on this issue than my stepmother. I see some pattern with the other Native Americans I know but I don't know if there is an overall generational difference in the use of the terms.
