FWIW, there are many that accept, and some even prefer, the term American Indian. I've dealt a lot with those from the Monacan tribe here that is local in my area as well as Lenape through events in Scouting. Most of them that I interacted with preferred to have the tribe name used first, but in lieu of that (whether through ignorance, referencing members of multiple tribes, or through not being able to pronounce it) their second choice was American Indian. Not all of them will be the same, obviously, but using the term Indian for them is not as much of a thing as you are making it out to be.
