Unfortunately, the Google translator gives me such names. I do not speak English sufficiently.

In the USA they are generally referred to as Native Americans. In Canada, "First Nations". In Latin America, "indigenos".
replyWould it be possible to agree that while the image represents an outdated stereotype of Native Americans, the puzzle maker did not make this with racist intent? Instead of piling on accusations, this may instead be a good opportunity to explain the history behind these depictions and why many find them offensive in a modern context.

If you want to do this, note that Vlan is Russian-speaking, may not look at this site, and makes his comments on the mother-site at nonograms.ru (you may find this info by clicking on Author, clicking on info, clicking on comments). I tried to explain why an image of a old-fashioned stereotyped African slave was offensive and the author was very confused because it was from a story in which the child was rescued by Russians and given freedom. So I just say thank you (спасибо), allow Russian-speaking artists to be what they are, and am amazed and grateful for access to nonograms puzzles for which I used to pay a lot of money.
reply
Many Russian-speaking artists rely on the site managers to translate the title of the nonogram into English. So another alternative is to contact the site managers and request that they use a different title.

I don't live in America so I feel that I might be missing something here, but, with all honesty, can someone please explain why this is considered racist? I thought it was a depiction of a traditional native American person wearing a feather headdress.
reply
Good job Vlan. Ignore the comments saying its racist or offensive, not all Americans are that narrow minded. There is no malice or intent and they clearly don't understand that their agenda doesn't mean they are clearly in the right. If you really think it's offensive, I suggest you travel around the world a bit and experience first hand other people's point of views
replyI have a picture of the native american Sitting Bull in headdress an old picture - it depicts some of his conquests. Does that mean I now have to destroy it, so no one will be offended??

I lLOVE this image. I live in the US. I don't understand why people get so upset about this kind of thing. It's an INDIAN. That is what the image of Indians in America looks like and has FOREVER !!! What's with you people? Get off the Website and stay off if you can't handle the whole world not agreeing with whatever your belief is. I am an Italian-American. I call myself White. I mark causation on forms. What am I really? Are we going to have to stop showing John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies and the like because so many of those movies have Indians in them? If we can call a cowboy and cowboy, why can't we call and Indian an Indian. I am so tired of the politically correct thing. It changes so often that it just doesn't make sense and I have a difficult time keeping up with it. I am not an offensive person yet I offend without even knowing it.

I'm gonna jump on the it's an Indian bandwagon, although I probably should just keep my mouth shut and someone later will agree that I should.
replyThe way people want to be (rightfully) called change during time. in Brazil, you were supposed to call black people colored, which is a no-no nowadays. The only thing to do is to try to adapt, and if and when we slip and use the term we have been raised with, the people hearing it should be kind and gently correct the mistep, instead of aggressive and righteous. Peace and love.
