/əˌmɛr(ə)k(ə)n ˈɪndiən/

Etymology: < American n. and adj. + Indian adj. and n. Compare earlier Indian n. 2, Indian adj. 2.

A. n.

A member of one of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, esp. one of the peoples indigenous to land in what is now the continental United States; cf. Native American n.The term American Indian has been steadily replaced, esp. in official contexts, by the more recent term Native American.
