Is it okay if I call my Native American friend Chief?

It is not okay to call your Native American friend Chief. It is a historically inaccurate and disrespectful term that should not be used, particularly in reference to living people. It is considered the same as using the n-word for people of African heritage. There are a few cultures that traditionally use this term to address their elder or respected people, and if you wish to show the deepest level of respect you may refer to them as such, though 'respected elder' or 'respected person' would also be acceptable.
