We link to Sequoia here, but Sequoia is a disambiguation page between trees and national forests. Could a kind Wikipeidan add the intended Sequoia to that disambiguation page, then directly link to the new page here? DanKeshet
Why don't we merge this to Native American article? -- Taku 06:27 Mar 8, 2003 (UTC)

I thought the term Native American didn't apply to anyone outside of the US and Canada (and not even the Inuits or Hawaiians amongst them). Tuf-Kat

This statement is my belief. Native American is not a proper term for the indigenous tribes who lived on what is now American soil anymore than Indian is a correct label resulting from Christopher Columbus' error. The term may be best suited for those who came to take the land for themselves then named it America but you can not be native to what did not exist yet replaced your own. If you wish to use proper terms then compile a respectful list of all tribes who inhabited the land prior to becoming America. Respect cares nothing for how long the list may be or time spent doing it proper justice, it only matters that it exist. Inhabitants before America are not First Nation, at best and sad worst they are a Previous Nation; First Nation are those people who created America. So what term do the ancestors of pre-America people prefer, perhaps Indigenous Tribes with a list of all that are and those who were? I truly hope to hear responses from members of pre-America indigenous people for it is what you collectively desire to be referred to that matters. Thank you for the conversation.
