Actually, you should refer to each tribe or group (or whatever each section prefers to call themselves as a group), as their own name that they prefer. But each section/tribe/group has groups within, so, each of those sub-groups may prefer different nomenclature than another sub-group.

Because of this, I have decided to include both "native american" and "Indian" as the title of this pattern. I've decided this based on the above information as well as in keeping with the actual title of the original pattern from the 1960's, therein to maintain the history of this pattern.

I've added the additional, most known, actual names that these groups prefer to the pattern's original doll name.
