Re: [The Hollywood Camerata] my quandary

So I would say that it sound like a narration that should use the language of
the time of the character narrating. If that makes sense... LOL That's what I
would do. If it's say, a cowboy in the 1700s, he wouldn't be calling them
Native Americans, though by the same token depending on his personality, he may
be more or less mild with the term he chooses to use.

For a screenplay, I think "Indians" is acceptable. Best, Aubrey M. Horton http://www.ScriptDoctor911.com...
