THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING! The difference between them is that Indians are from India (a country) and native Americans are the people you see in
the history books (but they don't dress like what you see , they dress like everyone else and they are not savages either) The reason people think they are the same thing is because, they believe what Columbus said. Back then Columbus landed in the indies and called the people there (which were native Americans) Indians.

TaigaIn a nut shell, nothing but the 'terms used' to identify them. Native Americans, depending on political beliefs, normally prefer one set of terms over another - this is highly dependent on the individual. Please note however, of all terms to define the original (or Indigenous) population of the Americas, there are quiet a few that are derogatory so care (thoughtfulness should be used).
