This term functions as both an ethnonym and a linguistic classifier. When used as an adjective, it describes the broad family of languages and the cultural heritage of the people who speak them, spanning from Alaska and Canada to the Southwestern United States.
As a noun, it refers to an individual member of these diverse groups. Because it denotes a specific ethnic and linguistic identity, the word is always capitalized.
