I do know some of our southern neighbors get frustrated with USA claiming the sole title to "American", so you're certainly right on that point. I've never lived in Canada, but have visited multiple times, so perhaps one of your Canadian readers might comment with more authority - just did a quick google and wikipedia says the mostseattleirishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11592850961602955834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-76988509567738789262017-04-21T10:00:33.659-04:002017-04-21T10:00:33.659-04:00We are all "Americans," - Canadians, Mex...We are all "Americans," - Canadians, Mexicans, Argentinians, etc. I think "Native American" is correct whether we're talking about the Mohawk tribe, the Incans, or any other indigenous people to the North or South American continents.

I'd imagine it's either/or because the dealers were conversing both in English and French.
