I wonder if they took NA to be short for native American. Wouldn't put it past some people. Not a hard mistake if you're not familiar with the term.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Are you a female Senator from MA?
Unfortunately, some companies (especially if you're working for a small company), will list their employees as different ethnic backgrounds to pass off as being an equal opportunity employer. Depending on where you are, what company or institution you are working for, that can be a legal requirement or add a level of credibility if in the past that has been an issue (if they were sued for discrimination It's helpful to pull up a record showing, they're hiring people with multiple diverse backgrounds). It can also provide certain tax breaks too.
Yeah they could be lying to the EEOC to cover up discrimination in their hiring process. So it's up to OP to decide if that is what might be going on.
I would love to get all these magical free perks people ITT seem to think we are getting for being native. Where do I sign up? Last time I checked the majority of people on reservations don't even get clean water
Or trying to get government contracts. Could be innocent but seems like a pretty specific mistake with side benefits.
That seems to be a question that pops up during the initial application process, e.g., on the form that you submit if applying online.
I can't recall ever being in a position to specify that after I've joined a company. HR and payroll systems have always been preconfigured for me without issue, for instance.
So, as long as you didn't misrepresent it on your initial application materials, probably should just clear it up, OP—to be consistent. Although you're probably gonna be okay anyway if you don't (assuming you're not benefiting from it somehow).
Lean into it. See if you can get your Native American card and leverage that for some of that casino money
You have to be a tribal member to get casino money. You can't just roll up and say "I'm a 16th Cherokee, where's mah money?!" Some tribes have even started to disenroll people, which has led to some ugliness.
