Many consider them so yes. Not every tribe had a chief, and many individuals and tribes consider Indian a slur.

This isn’t universal or anything, almost as though native tribes are entirely different ethnic groups spread across the entire continent.

What world are you living in where you think they don't know that? Do you think they named and run the government agency that fucks them and underfunds them constantly?

Also the article states two indigineous people from B.C., so likely first nations or Metis, who do not deal with the US government and overwhelmingly do not like the term.
