Re: [NTLK] [OT] New iPhones/iPhone OS 3.0

We prefer the term "Native Americans". "Indians" was a term foisted on the indigenous people of the Americas by Columbus when he thought he had actually landed in India, as he was looking for a new spice trade route.

Sacagawea, a member of the Shoshone tribe, served as a guide and interpreter during the Lewis and Clark expedition, taking the explorers to the places of her childhood, as these areas were well known to the Native Americans. So, the term "pioneer" is also a stretch.

Regards,

Gary
