The Native American name controversy is an ongoing dispute about the changing terminology used to refer to the indigenous peoples of the Americas and broad subsets of these peoples, such as those sharing certain cultures and languages by which more discrete groups identify themselves (e.g., "Algonquin-speaking peoples", "Pueblo-dwelling peoples"). Some Europeans have called Native Americans "redskins" or, more commonly, "Red Indians." This is partially based on the color metaphors for race which colonists and settlers historically used in North America and Europe, and also to distinguish Native Americans from the Indian people of India. Such terms are considered pejorative, especially if used by non-Natives. It is similar to the fictional, and also pejorative, expressions "pale face" or "pale skin", which some fictional Native characters call white people in Hollywood movies and other Western fiction written by non-Natives. Different individuals may hold differing opinions of the term's appropriateness; there is a National Football League team named the Washington Redskins, and the Redskins serve as the mascot of some schools, including Red Mesa High School on the Navajo Reservation in Teec Nos Pos, Arizona.[39] However, Native Americans have been protesting the use of these names since the 1970's. The term "Red Indians" was also more specifically used by Europeans to refer to the Beothuk, a people living on Newfoundland, who used red ochre in spring to paint not only their bodies, but also their houses, canoes, weapons, household appliances and musical instruments.
