Native American

Native American refers to the indigenous Human inhabitants of the North American continent and their descendants. They were called "Indians" by the first European explorers to visit the Americas, in the mistaken belief that they had sailed all the way around the globe to India, yet that label remained in common use for centuries to follow.

Sometime prior to the 20th century, a number of Native Americans were transplanted from Earth to a distant planet by a race called the Preservers. (TOS episode: "The Paradise Syndrome")

In 2170, Katowa led a group of Native American colonists from Earth, in order to preserve their heritage. The group finally settled on Dorvan V in 2350. (TNG episode: "Journey's End")
