Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think the problem is that all the words are fraught with trying to group all Native North Americans in one group, when they identify with their own specific communities.
I'd think since I can be black and Jamaican and West Indian that it's not a huge deal to be identified with different terms--some of which encompass each others, and some that just overlap.
I use the term "American Indian", because locally any other term - Native American, First Ones, First Nations - gets an angry response from American Indians. That does not apply to Canadians of course.
And prior to the invasion of course that ethnicity did not exist. But one of the ways an ethnicity is formed is shared oppression; so all the various nations of this part of the continent did end up with a pretty horrible shared experience; they were maltreated as one people, and in response developed a shared identity.

“We came back with 12 great big, huge garbage bags full of yarn,” says Light.
“We thought, maybe, you know, a couple of thousand, but we totaled it up and Debi and I both just went white,” says shop manager Caryn Southwick.

No? There was no concept of "those of us on this land"? I'm not saying it was a strong concept that implied lots of shared values, but you don't need an invasion to spark the concept of "us."

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
So what caused this whole ruckus? According to CNN, the “suspected sounds of gunshots heard in a House office building were made by a mechanic using a pneumatic hammer on an elevator.”
Either that, or Denny Hassert thought the FBI was coming to search HIS office and he decided to throw down ...
amych, the house is just beautiful. I love it! Best wishes to you, both.

Do you need a perceived "them" to have a concept of "us"?
Do you need a perceived "them" to have a concept of "us"?Probably. Actually once you have three people, you have them makings of "us" versus the other(s).
Do you need a perceived "them" to have a concept of "us"?
I don't think so. You might think "us" is all that there is, but I don't think you need a "them" for the concept. Sure does help speed things up though, I'd warrant.
