Most individuals prefer to be known as citizens or descendants of the exact tribes/nations they are from. As for general, overarching terms, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Census_Bureau" title="United States Census Bureau">United States Census Bureau</a> defines Native American as "all people indigenous [<a href="/wiki/Sic" title="Sic">sic</a>] to the United States and its territories—including <a href="/wiki/Native_Hawaiian" class="mw-redirect" title="Native Hawaiian">Native Hawaiian</a> and Other <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Islander_Americans" title="Pacific Islander Americans">Pacific Islanders</a>—whose data are published separately from American Indians and Alaska Natives".<a href="#cite_note-uscb-6">[6]</a> The use of Native American or native American to refer to Indigenous peoples who live in the Americas came into widespread, common use during the <a href="/wiki/Civil_rights_movement" title="Civil rights movement">civil rights era</a> of the 1960s and 1970s. This term was considered to represent historical fact more accurately (i.e., "Native" cultures predated European colonization). In addition, activists also believed it was free of negative historical connotations that had come to be associated with previous terms. However, not all Native people accepted the change. In 1968, the <a href="/wiki/American_Indian_Movement" title="American Indian Movement">American Indian Movement</a> (AIM) was founded in the United States. In 1977, a delegation from the <a href="/wiki/International_Indian_Treaty_Council" title="International Indian Treaty Council">International Indian Treaty Council</a>, an arm of AIM, elected to collectively identify as "American Indian", at the United Nations <a href="/wiki/Conference_on_Indians_in_the_Americas" title="Conference on Indians in the Americas">Conference on Indians in the Americas</a> in <a href="/wiki/Geneva" title="Geneva">Geneva</a>, Switzerland. Some Indigenous activists and public figures, particularly those from the <a href="/wiki/Plains_Indians" title="Plains Indians">Plains nations</a>, such as <a href="/wiki/Russell_Means" title="Russell Means">Russell Means</a> (<a href="/wiki/Oglala_Lakota" class="mw-redirect" title="Oglala Lakota">Oglala Lakota</a>), have preferred "Indian" to the more recently adopted "Native American".<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-McClinton-TempleVelie2010-8">[8]</a> Means spoke frequently of his fear of the loss of traditions, languages, and sacred places. He was concerned that there may soon be no more Native Americans, only "Native American Americans, like <a href="/wiki/Polish_American" class="mw-redirect" title="Polish American">Polish Americans</a> and <a href="/wiki/Italian_American" class="mw-redirect" title="Italian American">Italian Americans</a>." As the number of self-reported "Indians" has grown (ten times as many today as in 1890), the number who carry on tribal traditions has reportedly shrunk (one fifth as many as in 1890), as has been common among many cultural groups over time. Means said, "We might speak our language, we might look like Indians and sound like Indians, but we won’t be Indians."<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> Between 1982 and 1993, most American <a href="/wiki/Manual_of_style" class="mw-redirect" title="Manual of style">manuals of style</a> came to agree that "color terms" referring to ethnic groups, such as Black, should be capitalized as proper names, as well as Native American.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> By 2020, "Indigenous" was also included in these capitalization guidelines.<a href="#cite_note-APIndigenous-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-ChicagoIndigenous-12">[12]</a> During the late 20th century the term "Indigenous peoples" evolved into a political term that refers to ethnic groups with historical ties to groups that existed in a territory prior to <a href="/wiki/Colonization" title="Colonization">colonization</a> or formation of a <a href="/wiki/Nation_state" title="Nation state">nation state</a>. The "I" is always capitalized as it is in references to a group of people.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> In the Americas, the term "Indigenous peoples of the Americas" was adopted, and the term is tailored to specific geographic or political regions, such as "<a href="/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_Panama" title="Indigenous peoples of Panama">Indigenous peoples of Panama</a>". "'Indigenous peoples' ... is a term that internationalizes the experiences, the issues and the struggles of some of the world's colonized peoples", writes <a href="/wiki/M%C4%81ori_people" title="Māori people">Māori</a> educator <a href="/wiki/Linda_Tuhiwai_Smith" title="Linda Tuhiwai Smith">Linda Tuhiwai Smith</a>. "The final 's' in 'Indigenous peoples' ...

Most often given is the two-part definition: an "Indian" is someone who is a member of an Indian tribe and an "Indian tribe" is any tribe, band, nation, or organized Indian community recognized by the United States. The government and many tribes prefer this definition because it allows the tribes to determine the meaning of "Indianness" in their own membership criteria. However, some still criticize this saying that the federal government's historic role in setting certain conditions on the nature of membership criteria means that this definition does not transcend federal government influence.<a href="#cite_note-Brownell_2001_p299-26">[26]</a> Thus in some sense, one has greater claim to a Native American identity if one belongs to a federally recognized tribe, recognition that many who claim Indian identity do not have.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Holly Reckord, an anthropologist who heads the BIA Branch of Acknowledgment and Recognition, discusses the most common outcome for those who seek membership: "We check and find that they haven't a trace of Indian ancestry, yet they are still totally convinced that they are Indians. Even if you have a trace of Indian blood, why do you want to select that for your identity, and not your Irish or Italian? It's not clear why, but at this point in time, a lot of people want to be Indian.".<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Indian_Arts_and_Crafts_Act_of_1990" title="Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990">Arts and Crafts Act</a> of 1990 attempts to take into account the limits of definitions based in federally recognized tribal membership. In the act, having the status of a state-recognized Indian tribe is discussed, as well as having tribal recognition as an "Indian artisan" independent of tribal membership. In certain circumstances, this allows people who identify as Indian to legally label their products as "Indian made", even when they are not members of a federally recognized tribe.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> In legislative hearings, one Indian artist, whose mother is not Indian but whose father is <a href="/wiki/Seneca_nation" class="mw-redirect" title="Seneca nation">Seneca</a> and who was raised on a Seneca reservation, said, "I do not question the rights of the tribes to set whatever criteria they want for enrollment eligibility; but in my view, that is the extent of their rights, to say who is an enrolled Seneca or <a href="/wiki/Mohawk_nation" class="mw-redirect" title="Mohawk nation">Mohawk</a> or <a href="/wiki/Navajo_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Navajo people">Navajo</a> or <a href="/wiki/Cheyenne" title="Cheyenne">Cheyenne</a> or any other tribe.

Critics say Indianness becomes a rigid legal term defined by the BIA, rather than an expression of tradition, history, and culture. For instance, some groups which claim descendants from tribes that predate European contact have not been able to achieve federal recognition. On the other hand, Indian tribes have participated in setting policy with BIA as to how tribes should be recognized. According to Rennard Strickland, an Indian Law scholar, the federal government uses the process of recognizing groups to "divide and conquer Indians: "the question of who is 'more' or 'most' Indian may draw people away from common concerns."<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Self-identification">Self-identification</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Native_American_identity_in_the_United_States&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Self-identification">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Pretendian#Motivating_factors" title="Pretendian">Pretendian § Motivating factors</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Cherokee_descent" title="Cherokee descent">Cherokee descent</a></div> In some cases, individuals and groups self-identify as Native American.

They were broadly ancestral to present day Eurasians. But in comparing his genome to present day populations from across the world, they found that he was also closely related to present day Native Americans; his population was directly ancestral to them. Mal'ta's population -- the ancient Northern Siberians, seems to have encountered the daughter East Asian population described at the beginning of this chapter around 25,000 years ago and interbred with them. Current estimates suggest that approximately 63% of the First Peoples' ancestry comes from the East Asian group and the rest from the Ancient North Siberians. We're not sure where this interaction took place. Some archaeologists believe that it occurred in East Asia, suggesting that this is where the Siberians moved during the LGM" [...] "There's also a case to be made for this interaction having taken place bear the Lake Baikal region in Siberia from genetic evidence, too" [...] "But other archaeologists and geneticists argue that the meeting of the two grandparent populations of Native Americans occurred because people moved north, not south, in response to the LGM" </li> <li id="cite_note-64"><a href="#cite_ref-64">^</a> <a href="#CITEREFBryc2015">Bryc 2015</a>: "We generated cohorts of self-reported European American, African American, and Latino individuals from self-reported ethnicity and identity.
