Indies (ambiguous)

Google's approximation of the location Description of institution: Vague reference that might refer to the West or East Indies. When applied as an adjective, "Indian," which could mean something more like "indigenous" or "aboriginal," it could very well refer to a place of origin in Africa, or South American, or even North America. Nonetheless, we make an ambiguous association with the vague term "Indies."
