[quote=Anonymous]In Alaska we used two distinct terms: a "native Alaskan" is anyone born in Alaska, while Alaska Native refers to the indigenous peoples. Small-n native as an adjective just means you're from there. In the rest of the country Native American refers specifically to the indigenous people, but I think there's still room to consider someone "native" (not capitalized) to a place even if their ancestors came from somewhere else. The term can have two different meanings.[/quote]
