Plus, why are there any freaking labels anyway? Why can't we just be people without distinction.

Then how would you distinguish the real Americans (eg. Choctaw, Seminole, Apache, Sioux, etc.) from the rest of us.

Hence, getting rid of labels altogether. All labels are doing is keeping people in separate categories, Indians included.

In Canada especially, they refer to the aboriginal peoples of the Americas as "First Nations."
