Reading the book 1491 the author uses the term Indian over and over, is this
correct? We all know this is a term given mistakenly and in some Native
American cultures it is an insult, growing up I heard over and over the term
Indios to mean stupid, inferior and lazy! Isnt it time to stop using the
word Indian?  Mario Malo
