It seems, in the last 5 years or so, that almost any news story that applies broadly to American Indians, casually refers to what is going on in "Indian Country". I don't remember this expression being so casually common before sometime in the 90s, and I find it a bit ironic that the expression has become so common just as the term "Indian" has been replaced with "Native American".
