    People in the United Kingdom still use the term ‘Red Indian’ to denote North American Indian. To most of them ‘Indian’ means someone from India. The term ‘Red Indian’ was first used by Europeans encountering natives in Newfoundland, Canada. The natives used red coloured clay to cover their bodies for a ritual and Europeans used the term for all North American Indians.
