I assume because Blue Bird, Yellow Bird, and One Stone sound somewhat like native American names.

It is not that black and white. Native Americans prefer the Indian term. I'd look more into it. I was surprised too

Many people in that demographic prefer the term Indian.

I find it pretty fucking offensive to ignore their personal preferences in the matter.

Hardly. There's plenty of Indians that proudly wish to be called Indians by outsiders.

There's also plenty of Native Americans that proudly wish to be called Native Americans by outsiders.

There's even First Nation members that proudly wish to be called First Nations members by outsiders, although that's pretty uncommon in the US.
