Sensitive Note

Injun is an informal, nonstandard spelling of Indian. This pronunciation and variant spelling are associated with inauthentic, white representations of Native cultures and speakers. Now considered dated and often offensive, this variant form of Indian is best avoided, except when used to comment on inauthenticity of representation, as in the 鈥淗ollywood Injun English鈥 dialogue written for Native characters in older Westerns. honest Injun.
