Yeah I noticed that too and at first it made me question the authenticity of the article. But then, it's posted on MSNBC, a legit source of journalism.

Maybe this helps explain it:

Quote:
A 1995 US Census Bureau survey found that more American Indians in the United States preferred American Indian to Native American.[77] Nonetheless, most American Indians are comfortable with Indian, American Indian, and Native American, and the terms are often used interchangeably.[78] The traditional term is reflected in the name chosen for the National Museum of the American Indian, which opened in 2004 on the Mall in Washington, D.C..
