Talk:List of federally recognized Native American tribes in Oregon

Title of article needs to be changed
I know, and have known many Indians on both the east and west coasts, and I have never heard any one of them refer to themselves as a "Native American". They either use their tribal affiliation, or they generically refer to their people as "Indians".

The federal office which recognizes tribes is the BIA, the "Bureau of Indian Affairs".

"Native American" is a guilty white mans' affectation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 02:04, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Whether or not it's a "guilty white mans' affectation" it's become standard in most manuals of style. As of 1995 according to the census bureau (Native_American_name_controversy) half prefer American Indian and the other half either prefer Native American or don't care a white, and so long as we're using anecdotal evidence I don't think American Indians I've known and met care much about which name you use for this extremely broad category of cultures.97.115.230.122 (talk) 02:21, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
