For Native American Heritage Month- Many government institutions still refer to Indigenous peoples as American Indian and Alaska Native , such as the United States Census Bureau, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), as well as the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), to name a few. However, according to Elizabeth Price Pauls, an editor of Anthropology and Languages at Encyclopedia Britannica, using Native American is more respectful: “In the 1960s many activists in the United States and Canada rejected the phrase American Indian because it was seen as a misnomer and sometimes carried racist connotations. In these countries Native American soon became the preferred term of reference. However, whenever possible, it is best to use the name of an individual’s particular Indigenous community or nation of people.”
