Robert (and Russell),

Interesting article. Yep, these terms definitely do change. Most of my
friends prefer being called first by their tribal affiliations, and second
by Indian. "Native American" feels too touchy-feely, multicultural, and
New Age to them. Not that there's any consensus, though -- and that's the
interesting part anyway!
