The name for themselves were the tribe names.
I don't think the teacher I had knew that.

Which do you think is more likely: That no group of American natives actually had names for themselves or their homes, or that the random primary school teacher you had just didn't know the answer or meant "there was no collective term" and you were too young and naive to pick up on that?
The understanding I grew up with was that they didn't use a name to identify themselves with.

Now I realize I probably just had a bad teacher that didn't know much about the subject herself.

As for the topic of why do people still call them that. Those people might not have been taught any better than I was.
