Native Americans, particularly those from the Plains tribes, are called "Indians" due to a historical misunderstanding by European explorers. When Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas, he mistakenly believed he had reached the East Indies, which led to the term "Indians" being applied to the indigenous peoples of the continent. This nomenclature persisted despite its inaccuracy and continues to be used today, although many prefer the terms "Native Americans" or specific tribal identities.
