please read the definition again--you are the one confused
what definition do you want to go by?? just make something up ??
I prefer the definition of Native American.
Native Americans, also known as American Indians, Indians, Indigenous Americans and other terms, are the indigenous peoples of the United States. There are over 500 federally recognized tribes within the U.S., about half of which are associated with Indian reservations.
I'll ask again.
What tribe are you?

American
I am native American
read the definition--it is UNDENIABLE that I am Native/native American
it's RIGHT there in front of you
Sorry. I'm not buying it. The term "Native American refers to:
"Native Americans, also known as American Indians, Indians, Indigenous Americans and other terms, are the indigenous peoples of the United States. There are over 500 federally recognized tribes within the U.S., about half of which are associated with Indian reservations."

so we throw out all the definitions in the dictionary
that means all your posts are invalid--because the words have different meanings
''indigenous'' --what does that mean?
''peoples'' -what does that mean?
we all can make up whatever definitions we want [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Indigenous peoples, also known as first peoples, aboriginal peoples, native peoples, or autochthonous peoples, are ethnic groupswho are the original inhabitants of a given region, in contrast to groups that have settled, occupied or colonized the area more recently. Groups are usually described as indigenous when they maintain traditions or other aspects of an early culture that is associated with a given region. Not all indigenous peoples share this characteristic, sometimes having adopted substantial elements of a colonising culture, such as dress, religion or language. Indigenous peoples may be settled in a given region (sedentary) or exhibit a nomadic lifestyle across a large territory, but they are generally historically associated with a specific territory on which they depend. Indigenous societies are found in every inhabited climate zone and continent of the world.
