But you give the impression that all native Americans are "Indians,"
when in fact only a minority are aboriginal (the apparent intended
meaning of "Indian").

A more logical usage:

Indian = from India
native American = born in America
aboriginal American = of immemorial American ancestry

"Cowboys and aboriginal Americans" - fair rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

Following up to randee

Milan
There are supposedly two Mexican restaurants in Milan owned by somebody
from Roswell, New Mexico, USA. I have not tried them, and rather doubt
I will ever actually get to Milan in our travels in northern Italy, but
I wonder if anybody has tried either the Louisiana Bistro or the El
Tropico Latino? Supposedly the Bistro is a hangout for the Delta pilots
on the Atlanta/Milan run.

I wouldn't go to Milan for Mexican food!

Chilis
You can get a feel for the heat of a Mexican/Spanish restaurant by
asking the cook what varieties of chilis he uses - if he uses Big Jims
for rellenos and either Barker or Sandia for the salsa, you know you are
in good hands....................

Spanish food does not use much in the way of chillis.
