∙ 13y agoHow can they be called American Indian and come from Asia? And the term is NAtive American. XxtrxX: some theorize that former roaming Indians such as the Apache and Navajo may have come from Asian countries because of similarities between their languages to Asian languages and bodily features but eastern Indians and southwest pueblo Indians have not shown any similarities or strong evidence of Asian migrational ancestry.

Yes, though "Native Americans" is much more correct than "American Indians".
