To some people it matters to some it doesn't. Often the word Amerind is used to distinguish between aboriginal Americans and Asian Indians. Because there is more than 300 native tribes many prefer to be associated by the names of their tribes. Some well known tribal groups are Algonquin, Iroquois, Sioux, Apache, Navaho, Ute, Nez Perce, Cherokee, and Wampanaug among others.
