Rep. Eli Crane used the derogatory phrase in describing his proposed amendment to a military bill. Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty asked that his words be stricken from the record.

Like how the vast majority of Hispanics hate the term Latinx

See above, when a tribe talks about the collective of tribes in the United States the correct term is American Indian. In Canada, they do use the term for their tribes as indigenous people. It’s quite disrespectful to tell a tribe they have to call themselves something different because Progressives don’t like the word Indian. Also keep in mind the term Indian predates the usage for the Republic of India as it’s people called themselves Hindūstān until 1858.
I’ve only ever seen non-Native Americans say such things. Indian is an excepted term and is included in the name of most organizations Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Indian Education, Indian Health Services, National Indian Gaming Commission, Indian Claims Commission, National Museum of the American Indian, and the official national title for the various tribes is called the American Indian Nations. So no, indigenous people is not the correct terminology unless you are not an actual member of a tribe.
Interesting.
Who came up with the names of all of these entities?
I don’t know any indigenous people but CGP Grey said the most broadly accepted term is “American Indian” . Except he’s not indigenous either so idk who he asked, where, how many people/tribes, etc. Also I’ve never heard this term used. But hey I’m honest about my sources and their shortcomings.
