I generally try to say Native American or American Indian, just to keep things straight so someone knows whether I'm talking about an Indian from India, or an Indian as in Native American. Apparently "Mexican" is not PC, you're supposed to call a person Hispanic, even if they're directly from Mexico. It is kinda rude to assume every Hispanic you meet is from Mexico, so generally unless I know the country of origin I do try to not use the label Mexican. It'd be like calling every Asian you meet Chinese when they're really from Korea, for example. Although, is Asian a PC term nowadays? I can never keep up. I think "black" is PC again though, and its as accurate as African-whatever country if the person has never even been to Africa, much less was born there. To me it just seems kinda silly to claim a continent as your own when you have no real ties to it for generations. It'd be like me calling myself European-American, we don't even know how back its been since my ancestors moved to the Americas, so why claim a continent I have no known physical ties to anymore?
