Thanks, Zoe, for posting this link; I found the article to be very interesting, especially this part: "Power said that "Injun" is one of two words — the other is "squaw" — that are as offensive to Native Americans as the infamous N-word is to African-Americans because they are throwbacks to a time when Native Americans were defined almost exclusively by negative stereotypes."
