Academic circles have preferred “American Indian” for a couple decades now. You still see “Native American” in lower-level materials (undergraduate and below), though.
Yeah having lived in both countries, until recently the US was miles ahead in admitting its wrongs on Indigenous people. Things are starting to change here but I was amazed when I first moved to Canada how few knew the history.
Can you share what book you got this from?
You may want to actually read the book you’re using.
That’s Canadian, the US doesn’t refer to indigenous Americans as “First Nations”. Native American is still the academic go-to south of the border.

looks like an older Canadian textbook, not US.
trail of tears is a centerpiece in any section on native American history in US schools.

Lol that fails to mention that guns were aimed at them when they “agreed.”
