You're telling people on a naming board to stop getting so hung up over nomenclature.
Can we please all relish the irony for a moment?
And sorry, but you're wrong. Native Canadians might not object to being referred to as "the natives", but for almost every other minority culture the term is highly offensive and harks back to colonialism and White Superiority. Most ask that you use the correct term or none at all.

Some Indians I know do not like being called Indians because that is the name they were given (as in all the familiar tribe names). They prefer Native Americans (or simply Natives) because they are indeed Natives to the land.
The barbaric Native stereotypes I have heard are usually talking about Natives in Africa counties - which are mostly just stereotypes and not true at all.
