Can you name some Native American tribes that still exist in the United States.?
Choctaw.


Cherokee.


Chippewa.


Black foot.


Navajo.


Seminole.


Chickasaw.


Pottawatomie.





Pretty much all of what i have listed have reservations in parts of the US.


The only ones i know where they are at however is the Chippewa who's reservation is located outside of Mount Pleasant Michigan, the Choctaw who are located somewhere in Mississippi and the Chickasaw located somewhere in Mississippi as well.


And the Seminoles located in Florida.
Reply:Chippewa= Ojibwa's

Hopi


Apache


just to name a few in my area
Reply:I know Seneca is one in Salamanca, NY.
Reply:Sure, there are plenty - not the over 500 as there once was, but still many:





Ojibwe (WI, MN mostly)


Potawatomie (WI, MI)


Yakima (WA, Northwest)


Blackfoot (Montana)


Dakota, Lakota, Nakota (ND, SD)


Dine (Navajo is the Westernized term) (Southwest)


Hopi (Southwest - they are pretty much surrounded by the Dine)


Iroquois (NY - Eastern states)


Menomenie - I'm sure I spelled that wrong (WI, Green Bay area)


Inuit (Alaska)


Cherokee (Southeast)


Choctaw (Southeast)


Seminole (FL)


Chickasaw (Southeast)


Onandaga (South)


Oneida (WI)


Tuscarora (South)


Muskogee (Musckokee is another spelling) (WI)





The Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole are part of the 5 civilied tribes - they were ones that were assimilated "the best" into White culture - I'm sure you can find it online. You also may have heard of the Trail of Tears that the Cherokee were known for. Very sad events.





Again, this is an extremely short list of tribes in North America. I hope that it will give you some direction though. I tried to put the areas of where each tribe is located (mainly); however, as with any group of people, tribes were spread out (boarding schools shuffled the kids around a lot). So for example, there are Ojibwe people out in NY as well as out West, many have gathered in Montana. But originally, they are from the midwest.





The Ojibwe and Lakota people are known for their wars - you may want to search that to learn more. The Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota are commonly referred to as the Sioux (like Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull); however, Sioux translates to "snake," and is a derogatory word. So Lakota is the best term to use. Instead of Native Americans, First Nations is a better term to use as well. Native Americans can be anyone born in the US. American Indian does include our wonderful First Nations peoples in Canada, so First Nations includes everyone. Chippewa are the Ojibwe, but Chippewa is a BAD word to use.





Good luck.

Here's a webpage with the Federally Recognized Tribes, this list does not include tribes that are only State Recognized. And there is a difference....
