Indigenous is better I think. 
Why? Indigenous is just another synonym for "native" and those of European, African, Asian descent born in the Americas are still NATIVE to the Americas.
Aboriginal is much better. Why, you ask?
ab-origine-s, the original inhabitants, as opposed to the native peoples. Anyone born in the Americas is a native American, but only the "amerindians" are aboriginals. Aboriginal is best.
