In legal speak, i.e. under US Federal law, the term is Indian country, as opposed to Native American country. I understand the impulse and many peoples' preferences, Native or non-native, to replace Indian with different language, but, legally, "Native American country" doesn't mean anything with respect to, e.g., tribal and federal criminal jurisdiction.
For context see Wikipedia, or Cherokee citizen Rebecca Nagle's coverage of the Carpenter/Sharp v. Murphy case and McGirt case in This Land podcast and the Atlantic.
Furthermore, "Indian" under US Federal law does not include all Native Americans, and so the jurisdictional reach of the State and Federal governments in these case is also generally best described through the definition of "Indian" under the Major Crimes Act.

We know that the law defines it as "Indian country" but just like US law frequently relies on the language "alien" to describe immigrants, we generally are free to change that to more "PC" terms when it clearly helps for tone and reading comprehension as long as it doesn't interfere with the context. --Masem (t) 20:43, 30 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
I agree the terminology is problematic. But I believe that reading comprehension is better served by using the term that has legal meaning under both U.S. and Tribal law. --Kindred12 (talk) 20:47, 30 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
