Maps have been around for centuries- they help us know what cultures were aware of in terms of their neighbors, other lands, and so on. Map making continues today, as we map other planets, the bottom of the seas, and continually produce high quality maps here that measure various aspects of culture, demographics, and geography.

Gotta dock points for using the term "Indian" to describe indigenous people.
The term "Native American" encompasses the entirety of North and South America. The term "American Indian" is more specific and so I've heard that some prefer that term. The best answer is probably to use the proper name for each group of native Americans.
There doesn't seem to be a consensus amongst native Americans as to which term is preferred.
