| | | | Culture of the United States - Names: Encyclopedia II - Native American name controversy - Amerindian/Amerind The term Amerindian is a derivative of "American Indian" (as is "Amerind", though this term is more popular in linguistic circles), and is not necessarily completely synonymous with "Native American". Although all Amerindians are Native Americans, not all Native Americans are Amerindians. "Amerindian" relates to a mega-group of peoples spanning the Americas that are related in culture and genetics, and are quite distinct from the later arriving Eskimos (Inuit, Yupik, and Aleut peoples native to Alaska and the Canadian Arctic). The lat ...

| | | | Culture of the United States - Names: Encyclopedia II - Native American name controversy - Indian When Christopher Columbus set sail across the Atlantic Ocean, he believed that he would arrive in the Indies. The purpose of his trip was to expand the spice trade by avoiding the lengthy trip around the Cape of Good Hope. Because of this, he referred to the native people that he found as Indians. The name has been used ever since to varying degrees, however, there are two major problems with this name:
It is also the name of the peoples of a different continent.
It is a name assigned by an outsider, and specific ...

| | | | Culture of the United States - Names: Encyclopedia II - Native American name controversy - Aboriginal The term "Aboriginal" is another alternate form encountered in English-speaking regions of the world to refer to a people "having existed from the beginning." Its use is largely a product of arbitrary historical circumstance, and its meaning has been formalised in the statutory systems of a few countries where it has been employed. For example, the Canadian Constitution states:
"'Aboriginal' in the context of this plan includes all Indian, Inuit, and Métis peoples of Canada" (Constitution Act, 1982, Sub ...

| | | | Culture of the United States - Names: Encyclopedia II - Native American name controversy - Indigenous Indigenous is the current preferred term in some anthropological and linguistic circles. Although its spelling is similar to that of "Indian", the two words are not related. Indigenous is from Latin, indigena, meaning "a native".
The Spanish and Portuguese word indígenas ("indigenes") is widely used to refer to native peoples in Latin American countries today.
Canadian French uses autochtones for people as the ...

| | | | Culture of the United States - Names: Encyclopedia II - Native American name controversy - Native Some controversy over the term Native or Native American arises from the fact that in common usage the word "native" means "born in", and thus the term "native American" could be equally applicable to anyone born into an "American" country. This confusion arises out of a failure to recognize the distinction between:
(a) the common usage of the adjective "native", and
(b) the usage of ...

| | | | Culture of the United States - Names: Encyclopedia II - Buffalo Soldier - Their service During the American Civil War, the U.S. government formed regiments known as the United States Colored Troops, composed of African-American soldiers led by white officers.

| | | | Culture of the United States - Names: Encyclopedia II - AC/DC - Name A false rumor stated that an early name suggested for the band by Cliff Williams was "The Razor's Edge". This is false, as Cliff Williams did not join AC/DC until 1977 and had no prior contact with the band. The name "AC/DC" (alternating current/direct current) was suggested by the Young brothers' sister Margaret after she read it on an electric sewing machine's label.
The band was initially unaware of the bisexual connotation of the term; public response brought it to their attention. This public perception was exacerbated by their e ...
