What about Amerind? Is there any
problem with that term? (Provided there is such a macrofamily.)

Yes, but
it's important to remember that "American" means only
"of the US". In
Canada, "America" is synonymous with "USA" as it
is in most
English-speaking countries. Canadians are not Americans.
They are NORTH
Americans. A strange but important fact about the
word "American"
