I've had some email from >people, asking if they should say "Native American" or >"American Indian." Many people in Alaska refer to themselves as Native or Alaska Native or by their tribal affiliation ( e.g. - Alutiiq, Yupik), village - (e.g. Old Harbor, St. Paul), or ANCSA corporation membership - (e.g. Koniag, SEAlaska). Each person is an individual and has a personal preference for how they introduce themselves.
