I don't think anything like that exists. I can't think of how to say Bob or Chuck in Navajo without it being a very poor translation or loose description at best of an act.
Reply:Wow...there are hundreds and hundreds of tribes...first you have to decide which language you want (Cheyenne, Arapaho, Apache, Cherokee, Seneca, Miami, etc.) Then search for links to that tribe. Some will be able to help some won't. I'd suggest searching Cherokee as they are the largest tribe in the US (150k members)...good luck!
