It is confusing!

If it's "ancient" it's probably about Native Americans. "American Indian" generally means Native American while "Indian-American" would refer to someone who's part of the Indian diaspora. If it's mystical and from India, I think Hindu and Vedic tend to get used more even if it's not actually Hindu or Vedic.
