For the most part here in Oklahoma, non-Natives like myself generally use the term Native American or American Indian. I use Native American out of respect, especially from an academic perspective, but occasionally interchange American Indian and Indian.

Great find, Scott MtJoy! I recently found a sandlotter pamphlet from 1931 that lists "Moss" Yellowhorse as a utility player for the Pawnee team. From my understanding, Mose occasionally played first base. What I found interesting is that Yellowhorse continued to play now and again even after the second injury to his arm.
