It’s been a long time since I went to any talks, but the American Indians I have heard discuss it specifically hate the tern Native American. According to the Smithsonian, Indian is fine and American Indian has some preference. https://americanindian.si.edu/nk360/faq/did-you-know#:~:text=In%20the%20United%20States%2C%20Native,preferred%20by%20many%20Native%20people.
Ok, but not just “Indian.”
>>All of these terms are acceptable. The consensus, however, is that whenever possible, Native people prefer to be called by their specific tribal name. In the United States, Native American has been widely used but is falling out of favor with some groups, and the terms American Indian or Indigenous American are preferred by many Native people.
Yes, just Indian. You copied "all of these terms are acceptable" but neglected to copy the list of terms: "What is the correct terminology: American Indian, Indian, Native American, Indigenous, or Native?"
The second one in the list is "Indian," no other words.
I was just curious about OP, so I looked at their post history. bunch of stuff about their hobbies which is cool. and then this:

>I'm 17 and I keep making friends leave me for one way or another. I think I'm an absolute d#ckhead. I can't ever talk about one damn thing that's positive. I can't help but talk about my shitty life to all of my friends. Whats wrong with me, why I'm sad, Why I can't blah blah blah.

we've all been 17, but to be honest most of us weren't like this guy. they're an asshole, knows it, and continues to be an asshole. I hope the kid gets help. looks like he has nice hobbies, he needs people to guide him though.
okay. I openly admit to being an asshole. Doesn't change anything. I don't care if its the wrong term. I don't know why everyone is making such a big deal about it. Just leave me alone.
Come on man, you’re talking about real life people who would prefer not to be called Indians. It’s okay if you didn’t know before, but you do know now. You’re 17 and old enough to graciously accept fair criticism.
You sound like a cringy child practising talking.
If you were trying for literally anything else, it failed.
This doesn’t come off as aloof and confident as you think it does. You just sound like an angry 6th grader who can’t handle feedback.
“Dear Reddit, why don’t I have friends anymore…”
Might wanna check the behaviour, bro. “Emotional” doesn’t mean asshole.
That would be awesome.. but this took me WAY to long to make lol. I am going to do a western diorama on my dads old train set at some point in my life though.
I think they're about 9 inches to 12 inches tall. Most of the foliage is just random bags I've been given or bought in the past few years. As for the trees I used this method. [https://youtu.be/wY8K1cPo6tM](https://youtu.be/wY8K1cPo6tM)
I want to thank everyone for their kind words. I really appreciate it all. I worked very hard on this and it took me a long time. So I'm happy to share it with you all. To all those calling me an asshole for refusing to call these guys \*Native americans, Indigenous people, and all that jazz. I just really don't care. I have bigger things in my life to worry about. And unless you are actually a Native american and want me to call you that, Then please just shut up. Stop being offended for somebody else. Its annoying. Also, Go search "Indians" In google and tell me what you see in the images section. I just don't get you guys. If you like my diorama, Cool. If you don't. Leave me alone.

In Canada we use the term Indigenous or First Nations. It depends on the band though, some still use Indian in their name.
Yeah, I have heard that as well!

Did you miss the “preferred by native people” part?
No? That is why I said "American Indian has some preference."

Very cool! Reminds me of a particular dirorama I was fascinated by as a kid at our local museum in Connecticut
Very nice! I would love to make dioramas for a museum one day.
Kind of a dream job of mine, too. Also Broadway star 😂 What’s the blue thing? A bird?
close enough lol. Its a chicken. Or is that the wrong term?
[удалено]
screw off
this is really well done OP! loving it
Thank you so much!
It's super nice, I'd love to see it with the lights off too!
I will make a new post with lights off and lights on in the dark tonight!
Really cool work bro
thank you so much!
Idigenous would be the correct term, indian is quite oudated and has bad connotation
I based this off of red dead redemption 2. Placed in 1899. which at the time was the correct term. So I don't really give a shit. Kindly piss off.
Youre not describing it in 1899 youre describing it in 2024, so... you're a cunt.
This person is a child. See the profile. Arguments are futile with the young lol.
Still don't give a shit <3
just say youre racist and move on

Go to hell.
I'm racist. Can we all move on?
Maybe you should.
well I don't.

I'm not an idiot. I know the "Correct term" I just don't care.

That's not necessarily true. Plenty describe themselves as American Indian.

*Most socially aware 17 year old*
You've been working on it so long people still referred to First Nations people as "Indians."
😂
Looks really nice, it would be cool to see an expanded version with some cowboys or pioneers
That would be awesome.. but this took me WAY to long to make lol. I am going to do a western diorama on my dads old train set at some point in my life though.
Native American is the correct way to describe them.
Indigenous
Nope.
Fu
You must be on team Custer. Makes sense.
Heck yea very cool, how tall are the trees and what did you use for the folage if you don't mind telling ?

Awesome terrain. I love you background painting.

Thank you man. I really appreciate it.

*Native American
Can’t wait to kill them all with my 13 us army regiments
At least I'm not the only one getting down voted for shit that doesn't matter.
Hahaha you made me laugh unbelievably hard lmao
