[edit]

A bot tagged an early draft of this article as a possible copyright violation because it included a list of Iowa tribes similiar to one in Lance Foster's Indians of Iowa. Including an alphabetical list of the historically known Indian tribes in Iowa would not be considered a violation of copyright law under a reasonable definition. There are a finite number of tribes in Iowa and there is only one way to list them alphabetically. The fact that Foster's list is the basis for this list is irrelevant, he did not put these tribes in Iowa and a full citation for Foster's work is given. The list has since been modified over the course of building the article. Bill Whittaker (talk) 16:19, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'Indians'?

[edit]

Why is this erroneous, archaic term used as an article heading? Better would Indigenous Peoples of North America or Native Americans. The discredited misnomer, 'Indians' arose from navigators who erroneously thought that they had failed to India. 195.89.72.19 (talk) 17:22, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

American Indians of IowaIndigenous peoples of Iowa – American Indian is of course an outdated term for Indigenous peoples in the United States, and this article should also be consistent with other states' articles on Indigenous peoples. Salmoonlight (talk) 22:25, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Native Americans in Iowa - "Native Americans" is the most common term for indigenous peoples in the United States by a pretty solid margin.[1] It's also the term used in the article for indigenous people in the whole country, Native Americans in the United States. estar8806 (talk) 04:09, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Native Americans in Iowa. That also seems to be how the category tree uses the term. Gonnym (talk) 12:42, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Even if you want to ignore the issues of whether or not the term "American Indian" is still used and considered proper, at the very least, it is a term that is confusing and incorrect in nature considering people actually from India also live in the United States. Articles should move to using Indigenous American or Native American (I don't really have a preference for either to be honest) since the other term gets confusing when trying to distinguish people people native to America and people native to India.
