...as the Smithsonian article and TAMU says, the Native Americans (Indians) came to the land in three great migrations. The ones before Clovis are Native Americans (and would include tribes descended from them who are linguistic isolates... like the Chumash.)
The Clovis people were Indians (Native Americans).
So were the ones before them (the ones who settled the Mesa Verde area some 30,000 years ago.)
