The word Amerind (a contraction of "American Indian") usually refers to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, the peoples who lived in the Americas before the Europeans arrived in the continent; and to the modern ethnic communities that originate from those peoples. Use of the term is intended to avoid the confusion inherent in using "Indian", which can also refer to inhabitants of India.
The Amerind Foundation, a non-profit, privately funded museum and archaeological research facility, established in 1937.
