A Native American man is called a man today. In the early days of the United States, a Native American might have been called a brave or a chief.
Also, Native Americans are not Indians. When Columbus set on his journey, he intended to find to a western route to India and when he came to America, he assumed he was in India and erroneously called everyone Indians. Today calling a Native American Indian may be offensive to both Native Americans and also real Indians, who we now know are on the other side of America.

Is an American born Arawak Indian considered Black or as a Native American Indian?
The Arawak Indians are not of the black race. The Carib and Taino-Arawak Indians are all American Indians from the West Indies Central American Caribbean Islands. Note: The term red man was given to the Taino American Indians in the year 1492 by Columbus, as they used a red coloring called Bija (Beha) to ward off mosquitos and to paint their bodies red. The "red skinned Indians" are referred to as American Indians. To call an Indian a redskin is as much a derogatory term as to call an African American the "N" word.
