This is the exact point I've gone round and round with my boss about. When I'm doing living history and protray a Metis (in my case half French half Potawatomi) I will talk about the Three Sisters Garden and how it was used by nearly all Natives on this continent who farmed. He consistently says that to place myself in the timeframe I should use the word Indian and I say if I were really placing myself in the timeframe (and speaking English) I would use the word Savage and I'm not going there. What do others think?
