I wanted to name our son after him and he said they're indian family (hes a Lakota of the Sioux tribe) wont accept it if its named after him something about all of them having a special name. Why is this?
Why cant Native Americans give their kid the same name as them?
for traditional people our indian names are used when there is a ceremony. the spirits know us by this name which is why for us at least we have certain names given to us by our clan and no one else has that name until we die. then the name goes back to the clan to be given to another child at a future date.
so if someone is praying for "XXXXX" there is no confusion about which person this is as there is only one. our names carry power.

I'm gonna go with Cherokee. Since Elvis is from Memphis, Tennessee, which all that state and north Georgia was their land, many whites and blacks from that area have Cherokee blood. I'll take raspberry jelly in my donut :)
Reply:His biography claims he has cherokee blood, but that is an unsubstantiated claim.
I'd prefer a peanut butter, banana, honey and bacon sandwitch rather than a jelly donut
Reply:He was also a druggy.
Reply:Cherokee --- Where's my free donut?
Oh yes I'd prefer chocolate.
Does coffee come with that?

I think that Native-American names are beautiful, and so fitting for some horses.

What are some Native-American horse names?
Native american horses can have many names with mnay meanings. Take mine for example, he is a 14.1 hand quarter horse, very small but nothing but muscle. I have given him the Cherokee name " usdi a tsi lv so qui li" meaning little fire horse, usdi for short. And a choctaw name of " lakna issuba" meaning yellow horse.If you want to give him a indian name, perhaps you can come up with one that has meaning for both you and your horse and look it up on a native amercan sight. Just watch the dialect and how you pronounce it, or it could sound like something toattaly differant. Most were named after appearence, attitude or a strong object of some sorts Or try some originals; commanche, spirit, thunder, apache, lightning, warrier.....

I don't think there is a single place to find these. Try googling and looking at wikipedia.

Last night CNN had a poll about using Native American names for sports teams. Can Congress be far behind?
Last nigh CNN had a poll. The question was, "Do you find derogitory (their words) names for sports teams offensive, such as, Cleveland Indians or Washington Redskins?" Since we already know what the results of the poll will be, can Pelosi's Congress be far behind in passing a resolution against using derogatory Native American names for sports teams? I mean, that's all Congress seems to be able to do now a day----pass resolutions against something.
Last night CNN had a poll about using Native American names for sports teams. Can Congress be far behind?
Yeah, they seem to only be able to pass resolutions as Bush has pulled the veto pen out 4 times in the last year and a half, more than he did during his whole previous term.
The NCAA has stopped allowing derogatory mascots a while back, and Illinois retired Chief Illini last year. They stopped allowing schools to host tournaments if they didn't change their mascots. It's probably something that would be left up to the professional sports association.
Reply:That is so stupid. It is not Congress' job to legislate on people's feelings. Awww, I am so offended, let me call my Congressman. I want to know if actual Native Americans are offended. If they are, then they can petition the teams to change their names. But seriously, since when is this the job of the United States Congress?

If you offend whites, conservatives, Christians, then that is fine.

We have become such a "touchy" society that we are breeding closest racists. Many people are annoyed and angered by this political correctness, but are too afraid of losing their job or friends of looking "racist" that they don't say anything and placate those who want "political correctness" while harboring racist feeling internally.
How many people see the likes of Al Sharpton speak and get angry because they hate him, then just internally hate whatever he is standing for only to be "politically correct" on the outisde? I know people who do, I am one of them. I agree with the side he takes sometimes (Jena 6) and sometimes I don't (Don Imus) but my hatred of his racism and anti-white stand makes me hate all of his causes. This over sensitive society will end up making things worst in the long run when the dam of fed up people breaks.

I need help writing 2 paragraphs about native american names? due tomorrow!?
our teacher told us to name ourselves a native american name that describes ourself, i dont get what she means. she told us about a guy that plays games with wolves and when he plays games with the wolves it looks like hes dancing with them so his nickname is dancing wolves. i need to write 2 paragraphes about what native american nickname should be mine. i have to read it infront of the class so i dont want to embarass myself with a name that doesnt describe me at all. i like music, animals, nature. i guess thats it i dont know and its due tomorrow so i need help writing 2 paragraphes with this. and also i have soooo much homework every day and even if i start it right when i come home it still takes the whole day for me to finish it, im an A+ student but so far things are reallyu confusing to me and when i come home i want to relax from the stress i had in school but i have to do my homework which i have no time to relax. how do i finiah my homework faster? and also the school day seems like forever, how do i pass the time in school? that will be hard cuz the teachers are watching your every move so i cant get away with passing notes, listening to my ipod, etc. thanks in advance
I need help writing 2 paragraphs about native american names? due tomorrow!?
blah that is such a stereotype, and not surprising that its still being taught. our ancestors did not just look out and see something interesting and then, "here, your going to be named dog taking a dump." Names were giving after much thought, and usually were handed down from a passed on relative, but not always. My name was given to my from my grandmother who is our clan matron. the meaning of my name means roughly 'winter rose' I was given my name late, when i was around 23. I had overcome many obstacles in life. A winter rose, is a rare beauty that can overcome such hardships, and brings a ray of hope in dark times. Your name should reflect who you are as a person. What's your greatest strength? As for your homework, lol, if you are doin your work than you dont have to pass time in school. use your time wisely, meaning if your done with one assignment, get working on your other classes homework. the more you get done the more free time you will have.passing notes, and listening to music is hardly worth wasting time on if it means sacrificing your after school free time.

What is a proper name for a posibbly Latino (for sure) Native American White male?
I might be Latino
What is a proper name for a posibbly Latino (for sure) Native American White male?
A person can be White Latino, Native American Latino, Black Latino or Mixed Latino (Mestizo/Mulatto) but you can't be all four. Also, Latino refers specifically to someone that lives in Latin America or is of Latin American descent living in the U.S.(regardless of race). Spanish speaking people that are born in the U.S. are usually referred to as Hispanic (also regardless of race).
Reply:Latino Native American White male...I don't think that makes sense...unless you're mixed.
If Latino and Hispanic are interchangeable, all that means is that you come from a New World former colony of Spain. No race involved.
If by Native American you mean American Indian (e.g. Sioux, Mohegan, etc), then that is the race of people that originally lived here and they look like what people characterize as "Mexican," "Peruvian," or Guatamalan, because most of these people are descendants of the original American people (from North to South).
And if by White you mean descendant of Europeans, then you can call yourself Caucasian or something.
So Latino, Native American, White Male...I'd just say I'm a mix.

Native American names in sports mascots. Anyone else wanna volunteer to replace them?
There has been a controversy about Native Americans in sports team mascots. I'm in Milwaukee, where we once had the Marquette Warriors name, and to my knowledge voluntarily changed the name to Eagles, and even 'Gold' for awhile.
Not being insensitive, growing up with the Warriors team on TV, it sounds natural to me, and the Eagles sounds weak.
If I asked the handful of native American I know, they wouldn't care, but some do, obviously.
I remember a Jewish comedian being asked how he felt about a team being called the Jews. He said after all these years, he'd love for people to cheer his people on. Maybe just a joke, unless anyone starts volunteering.....Thoughts??
Native American names in sports mascots. Anyone else wanna volunteer to replace them?
check out comedian charley hill. he did a bit on this very thing. very funny and also get the point across. btw, he is an oneida indian
Reply:I think the names should be considered an honor, not a slur. But what do I know? I'm a caucasian DINK of german irish descent.
Should I ever have occasion to refer to the team, I would still call them the Warriors because I can't even remember what the real name is now.
I still call the Hog Lazer because I find all that Hog crap to be so....undignified. I know it's because of the harleys but I'm not a fan of those either.

Native American names for a female rat?
Hi! I just got a Blue Rat. Female. And I was wondering on some cute Native American names for her. I found Kohana, but that's a male name according to every website other than the one I got it from.
Some characteristics about her are: she's a blue rat, gray colored, shy, likes to escape from the cage, she likes to hide in her house, she's very fast (hence the Kohana name meaning swift), independent, likes her space (solidarity?).
I can't find any cute ones that suit her. Any help? Thanks!

Alright im cherokee an powhatan now you dont get your name your elder has to give it to you! so therefore its really not your name so you can juzt look them up im sure theres some.
Reply:every nation is different. in my nation the names belong to the clan and are handed down to babies and children at ceremony. the name is unique and no one else may have it until that person dies. then the name goes back to the clan to be given to another child at a later time.
i don't think any nation simply picks their own name. most i am aware of have them given by an elder or other authority within the tribe. or at least there is some tribal recognition of that name in a ceremony.
Reply:why do you have blond hair and blue eyes?...just curious.

Oh that's cool. My dad's got Maroon and Arawakan in him...random I know...

Native American Names?
How did Native Americans recieve names such as Crazy Horse or Standing Bear? Who decided on what their name would be? I heard that the child is named after the first animal the mother sees after giving birth. Is that true?
Native American Names?
In modern times, (and in the past) an elder is often ask for a name for a person (child or adult). The name is reveled to them in many ways, dreams/visions, personality/characteristics of the person, or the name of the persons past family member etc.
Now-a-days, young families often give their child a Native name at birth. (which was not done in the past.) Most of these names follow the English convention of using a single word such as:
Nimki - thunder
Negonee - (he/she) leads
Wassagone' - flower
Bineshiinh - bird
Ma'iiangan - wolf
In the past, names that were given to a baby, often were not used too early, to address the child. Since the baby had just come from the spirit world, if their name was too well known they may be called back.
So people had many names or nicknames, throughout their life. This still holds true in many places, people will have an English name, a spirit/Native name, but are commonly known by their nicknames.
My name is Zhaawaabanokwe
Translated it can be said "Southern Morning Woman" or "Woman of the Southern Morning"
If it did not have "kwe" at the end, which means woman, It would be a man's name, "Southern Morning"
In early contact, English often used "maiden" which then was corrupted into "princess"
That is how names such as "Princess Morning Star" came about. The name more likely was, "Morning Star Woman".
.
Reply:It depends on the different native tribes. Naming traditions for Muskogee Creeks would not be the same as naming traditions for Hidatsa Sioux. In my tribe, babies are given their name 7 days after birth. It is certainly NOT based on the first animal the mother sees, or the first thing in nature she sees. The first name of the child usually is a little bit generic, like Flower or Smiles. As the child grows older, their name will change according to the things they do in their life. Once the child matures, they can change their own name. Like someone else was saying, English names are only translations of the real native names. Native names sound like Ahinawake, Kenati, Agaska, etc.
Reply:Pick one of the two above me...
I've heard/read of the old "walk outside and saw..." theory, though I haven't heard it from any legitimate source of my own. That's not to say that there isn't perhaps a Nation/tribe that did/does it that way, because maybe it did come from someone. It just can't be generalized for all of them.
For as far as what little I've been told by a few people who are Lakota, what the woman above me said sounds most like theirs. And I think supposedly their names can sometimes also come from some trait or event in life, like a heroic act, so they may have more than one name in their lifetime. A childhood name isn't necessarily what they might have at, say, 25. Though it's just what I've been told, can't really speak for them myself.
As for Crazy Horse, Tashunka witko, I've heard that his name was originally closer to "His Horse is Crazy," which is better understood where it might have come from.
Reply:What if the first animal they see is a walking roach?
Reply:You have to take into account that Natives didn't originally have english names. That was until residential schools were put into effect, thats why, if you notice the older generation (my grandparent's ages) all had "church names", eg, Joseph, Mary, stuff like that because they were being "saved". So in my culture (Mohawk/Haudenosaunee/Iroquois, which ever you want to call us) we didn't have last names, we went by our clan, eg, if I were Turtle clan, my parents would pick a name with something to do with the water.
But now, some people have used the original names their parents had as last names, I have a friend whose great grandfather's name was standing arrow, so they adapted that to their last name.
We choose our traditional names from something like a registry of names, only 1 person from a nation can have that name because if they end up sick, we ask the creator to send them medicine and since we only have 1 name and only 1 person has it, there won't be any confusion as to who gets the name. So we pick a name out of a book that we like. But the name has to belong to that clan.
Hope that helped.
Reply:after birth, the parent will go outside, close there eyes, and the first thing they see when they open them, thats it... for example, my indian name is red cloud... cuz my mom saw the clouds during a sun set. and her name is running dear, because my grandfather saw a group of running dear when he opened his eyes.
Reply:There are so many different native Americans and they all had different traditions for naming there children.

So people had many names or nicknames, throughout their life. This still holds true in many places, people will have an English name, a spirit/Native name, but are commonly known by their nicknames.
My name is Zhaawaabanokwe
Translated it can be said "Southern Morning Woman" or "Woman of the Southern Morning"
If it did not have "kwe" at the end, which means woman, It would be a man's name, "Southern Morning"
In early contact, English often used "maiden" which then was corrupted into "princess"
That is how names such as "Princess Morning Star" came about. The name more likely was, "Morning Star Woman".

Reply:It depends on the different native tribes. Naming traditions for Muskogee Creeks would not be the same as naming traditions for Hidatsa Sioux. In my tribe, babies are given their name 7 days after birth. It is certainly NOT based on the first animal the mother sees, or the first thing in nature she sees. The first name of the child usually is a little bit generic, like Flower or Smiles. As the child grows older, their name will change according to the things they do in their life. Once the child matures, they can change their own name. Like someone else was saying, English names are only translations of the real native names. Native names sound like Ahinawake, Kenati, Agaska, etc.
Reply:Pick one of the two above me...
I've heard/read of the old "walk outside and saw..." theory, though I haven't heard it from any legitimate source of my own. That's not to say that there isn't perhaps a Nation/tribe that did/does it that way, because maybe it did come from someone. It just can't be generalized for all of them.
For as far as what little I've been told by a few people who are Lakota, what the woman above me said sounds most like theirs. And I think supposedly their names can sometimes also come from some trait or event in life, like a heroic act, so they may have more than one name in their lifetime. A childhood name isn't necessarily what they might have at, say, 25. Though it's just what I've been told, can't really speak for them myself.
As for Crazy Horse, Tashunka witko, I've heard that his name was originally closer to "His Horse is Crazy," which is better understood where it might have come from.
Reply:What if the first animal they see is a walking roach?
Reply:You have to take into account that Natives didn't originally have english names. That was until residential schools were put into effect, thats why, if you notice the older generation (my grandparent's ages) all had "church names", eg, Joseph, Mary, stuff like that because they were being "saved". So in my culture (Mohawk/Haudenosaunee/Iroquois, which ever you want to call us) we didn't have last names, we went by our clan, eg, if I were Turtle clan, my parents would pick a name with something to do with the water.
But now, some people have used the original names their parents had as last names, I have a friend whose great grandfather's name was standing arrow, so they adapted that to their last name.
We choose our traditional names from something like a registry of names, only 1 person from a nation can have that name because if they end up sick, we ask the creator to send them medicine and since we only have 1 name and only 1 person has it, there won't be any confusion as to who gets the name. So we pick a name out of a book that we like. But the name has to belong to that clan.
Hope that helped.
Reply:after birth, the parent will go outside, close there eyes, and the first thing they see when they open them, thats it... for example, my indian name is red cloud... cuz my mom saw the clouds during a sun set. and her name is running dear, because my grandfather saw a group of running dear when he opened his eyes.
Reply:There are so many different native Americans and they all had different traditions for naming there children.

Just because...
Reply:Military helicopters have traditionally been named after Native american tribes.
It's simply a matter of convention and tradition. Tanks are often named after famous Generals. (Sherman, Abrams)
Aircraft Carriers are named after Admirals or Presidents (Eisenhower, Reagan, Nimitz)
Fighter Jets are named after... uh... well, I guess all kinds of stuff. Sometimes birds (Eagle, Raptor), sometimes not (Hornet, Warthog) (I've never seen a flying friggan pig. Lemme tell you.)

For example, destroyers are war heroes, cruisers are battles, missle subs are states, attack subs are cities, aircraft carriers are presidents...it just so happens that helicopters, just as riverbound ironclads of the 19th century.... are named after indian tribes. The names sound good, too....
It makes it easier for commanders in the field to keep up with things when they're talking. I assume that's why...

The Geneva convention would condemn it today
when people harm others for purpose of greed or bitterness or some other reason outside the will of God, I agree, there is some similarity both are claiming to do something in Gods name that appears against Gods laws... in some ways both are forms of idolatry, acting in the name of God and acting out evil trying to justify it
but if you mean biblical Christianity, Christians are under construction, they make mistakes but love truth and try and please God based on what God revealed in the scriptures and Jesus words would not lead you to slaughter native Americans or cheat or harm them.

Native american names help?
real native names are prayed for and reflect your inner spirit.
for the school project choose something that will reflect the type of person that you wish to be.
for example my native name (given my Medicine Eaglebear)
is
Hehaka Wachipi Nagin Chen or (Elkstar Standingtree)
(cannot remember the proper spelling for Elk in the Lakota dialect right now. )
and it does represent me.
the Elk, strength and determination
the Star, I am Pagan afterall and stars have great signifigance to me
Standing tree. protection and strength. also un-moveable.
my friend Wind Dancing is much like a leaf blowing in the wind, never still for a minute. and will take any opportunity to dance or make music. (only woman that i know that always has a device to make music with on her at all times)
Reply:First you need to pick a Nation or tribe, as the names are different in style and lettering dependant upon the region they are originating from. Don't just get all stereotype. That gets ugly when you run into a real Native American who happens to be on legal retainer.
But once you pick a region or Nation, then go with something that tickles you on the fancy.
I really happen to like Kicking Chicken or She Who Kicks Chickens, but that happens to just make me laugh.
Find something that describes you flawlessly.
Got a Hobby that you can not live without?
Running, Jumping, Dancing, Screaming
Is there an animal that you identify with?
A stance you always take?
It's ultimately up to you.
Reply:The ideas offered here are good.
Essentially, you want to take two main things about you and merge them together. One of them would tend to be how you are with the world, how you impact it. The other is how the world impacts you, how it affects you.
1.) I am a writer, I give the world stories and lessons.
2.) I am often challenged in this world, so I am made strong through its many challenges - I always persevere.
1.) Story Teller
2.) Warrior / "brave" (as most tribes called them)
1 + 2 = Story Teller Brave
Then mix it, so it sounds right: Brave Story
Hi, I'm Brave Story
See?
Reply:Well...over the last few years I have been gently guided to understand some things...including the fact that names are considered sacred or whatnot. Not like most of our names, where our parents picked it because it sounded nice. They are much deeper and more personal then that.
Although if it's for school and you *have* to...aka this assignment isn't your doing... then I suggest thinking deep about it and deciding what really fits who you are, like others above are suggesting. (And not just what sounds good.) What are you made of, what are your passions, what are your talents, who are you?
One note...
*It is advised not to use actual known family names*
If you just find that you can't possibly come up with anything...look up what your own first name is supposed to mean. That meaning is one you were given at birth.
Reply:I had to do that once and I picked old buffalo. It has stuck for years. Pick something melodic or flattering, like MoonWalker, Running Bear, or Bright Star.
Reply:Just think of something that describes you. Are you moody? Raging Thundercloud. Are you daring? Moon Hunter. Are you frightening? Fierce Bear.
Anything with nature should work, since the Native Americans were very connected to nature.

Reply:Just an FYI-- it is a common misconception that Aiyanna is a Native American name. Ive heard it attributed to the Cherokee, Sioux and Navajo as well as just being described as "native american". It's not. It's a variant spelling of the Hindu name Ayana.
For a long time many Hindi names were listed as being "Indian", so in the States, many people took that to mean "Native American". The authors of baby name books failed to do research in to the true origin and continued the "Native American" misconception.
This is a great site with many names that are often attributed to being Native American in origin, but are not.

Reply:Actually, naming your kid Dakota and similar names are offensive to the tribes. Don't name your child something that they will be offended by without first contacting the tribe(s) and asking.

Native American Names -- Cherokee --> Lakota?
My great grand mother was a Cherokee (Lakota) Indian and i was wondering if anyone would give me some Cherokee Native American names, and their meanings. I would highly appreciate it.
Native American Names -- Cherokee --%26gt; Lakota?
I think you need to learn a bit about the Cherokee. The Lakota are not another name for the Cherokee. The Lakota are a northern Plains tribes, more commonly known as the Sioux. The Cherokee are a Southeast Woodlands tribes. Here are some reliable resources on the Cherokee to get you started:
The Official Web Site of the Cherokee Nation based in Tahlequah Oklahoma.
www.cherokee.org/
Cherokee Indians in Georgia
ngeorgia.com/history/cherokee.html
Cherokee genealogy research.
www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~itcherok/
The History of the Cherokee includes a geneology link
http://cherokeehistory.com/
The Official Website of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Nation located in North Carolina http://www.nc-cherokee.com/
Reply:I might be wrong, but the Lokata and Cherokee are different tribes.
Anyway, I'm Sierra Miwok and my spirit name is Nah-kee Shah-Neesh and it means "Brother in the clouds" or "Cloud Brother."
Reply:Names were usually given by family members or came from a dream that the person had.
There are many books on the Cherokee language out there and I think that might help you to understand a lot of things.
Reply:Excuse me...Cherokee and Lakota are not the same thing, two totally different Nations, and their ancestral lands are pretty far apart. And their languages are not even of the same language family.
Lakota is "Sioux". Upper Midwest plains vs Eastern woodland.
So...which is it?
I'm not sure about the Cherokee...but I know the Lakota don't hand out names.
Reply:NAMES are not to be taken lightly.
Ask YOUR OWN elders about this.
Reply:cherokee princess
Reply:Creek Indians. Don't know the meaning though. Google it.
Reply:I am Cherokee and Lakota. Maybe that is what you mean, you are two different tribes?

Reply:What do you mean by Cherokee (Lakota)? Those are two entirely different tribes. The Cherokee were an eastern woodlands tribe, while the Lakota became a plains tribe.
Names were given by an Elder after knowing the person being named for some time, and that persons name may change over the years.

Native American Names?
I'm looking for Native American names, or to be more specific, Cherokee Indian names. My great-great-grandmother was full blooded Cherokee. I already have Gaelic and German names to honor the rest of my known heritage, but now I'm looking for names to honor this part.
I need Native American or Cherokee Indian names for boys and girls.
Native American Names?
Do it the correct way and ask a local elder or community member. I am Odawa, so I am unfamiliar with Cherokee naming--but our names, unlike the European way, are not simply given to us by our parents when we are born. And they definitely are not simply picked from a paperback book grabbed off the shelf before the checkout counter. There's obviously more to it.
I would definitely suggest talking to an elder or community member. Even if there is more to the deal than just picking a name from a book, it may prove worthwhile to actually take part in their ways of doing things. You might take more home than just a name :)

Native American Names, why the Two?
I note on here Two Knives and Two Wolves. Counted among past friends, I haven't seen for years, Charlie Cree and Elizabeth Two Elks from Oregon and Alaska respectively.
It just occurred to me that I never thought about or even asked why it was two of this and two of that so often? It just seemed like a fine way to be named. Anyway, I'm asking now. Why the "Two"?
Native American Names, why the Two?
I got my name because i used to carry Two Knives and as usual if someone did not know my name he would say the guy with Two Knives it got shortend to just Two Knives and has been my Native name for 40 years im on the Lakota %26amp; cherokee roll as Two Knives at Pine Ridge SD %26amp; Natahalie Mt NC Two Wolves has his own story ask him hes one of my freinds on 360 page I have a freind whose grandfather was Two Lance because he carried two lances into battle. hope this helped Thanks
Reply:why not? seriously, you would have to talk to them-they can tell you the origin and meaning
Reply:I would suggest that finding the number two in so many Indian names connotes balance, i.e., male-female, yin-yang, positive-negative, etc. Maintaining balance is an almost pan-Indian cultural concept.
With some tribes, like the Choctaws and Cherokees, the numbers four and seven are highly significant and often sacred (four directions and seven directions), but these numbers are never used in names.
The highest number I know that was used in a name is "Ten Bears".

Can you tell me the name of diffrent Native American Languages and diffrent Tribes?
Maybe post some websites or good books on those languages? Can be from anywhere in the Americas? Please if the name of the language is diffrent from the tribe, include the tribes name?
Can you tell me the name of diffrent Native American Languages and diffrent Tribes?
There were about 1000 different languages spoken in the Americas at the time of Columbus from the tip of Tierra del Fuego to Point Barrow.
Here is a list of (mostly living) languages in the Americas, sorted by country: http://www.ethnologue.com/country_index....
There are some good websites for individual languages, but the Wikipedia articles tend to be the best: www.wikipedia.org
Here are some outstanding books on the subject:
Marianne Mithun, The Languages of Native North America: http://www.amazon.com/Languages-America-...
Ives Goddard, The Handbook of North American Indians, Volume 17, Languages: http://www.amazon.com/HNDBK-INDIANS-Hand...
Shirley Silver %26amp; Wick Miller, American Indian Languages: Social and Cultural Contexts: http://www.amazon.com/HNDBK-INDIANS-Hand...

R.M.W. Dixon %26amp; Alexandra Aikhenveld, The Amazonian Languages: http://www.amazon.com/Amazonian-Language...
Jorge Suarez, The Mesoamerican Indian Languages: http://www.amazon.com/Mesoamerican-Langu...
SHOSHONI LANGUAGE
But since you want information about specific languages, I will suggest SHOSHONI. Here is Idaho State University's Shoshoni website (Shoshoni is taught there as one of the languages): http://www.isu.edu/~loetchri/
Here's another Shoshoni language site (I'm not sure which Shoshoni group maintains it): http://www.native-languages.org/shoshone...
And another that has information from various Shoshoni bands: http://www.shoshonidictionary.com/SDP_LI...
Here's a good grammar of Shoshoni (with a dictionary in the back): Beverly Crum %26amp; Jon Dayley, Western Shoshoni Grammar: http://www.amazon.com/Shoshoni-Occasiona...
And this book has a CD with the songs being sung by the Crums: Beverly Crum, Earl Crum, %26amp; Jon Dayley, Newe Hupia, Shoshoni Poetry Songs: http://www.amazon.com/Newe-Hupia-Shoshon...
And here's another good grammar of a slightly different dialect (if you can get a copy with the accompanying cassette that is best): Drusilla Gould, Introduction to Shoshoni Language: http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Shosh...
(The Crums and Ms. Gould are native speakers of Shoshoni. I know both Beverly and Drusilla personally and they are wonderful teachers. Jon Dayley is an outstanding Anglo linguist at Boise State University. I wrote the first grammar of Timbisha, but his is better.)

Reply:There's this place called the library?
Wikipedia has a section on Amerind languages.
Most of the books mentioned on line by other posters will probably be in university libraries so your best option is a trip to the nearest university library and check out their linguistics section?
Reply:It's impossible to keep up with their names. The tribe that I call Micmac, call themselves M'ikmaq, which they pronounce "meegmah".
It's strange that a stone-age people, with no alphabet of their own and whose name was spelled phonetically, by white invaders, can tell us how to spell and pronounce words.

Can you tell me the name of diffrent Native American Languages and diffrent Tribes?
There were about 1000 different languages spoken in the Americas at the time of Columbus from the tip of Tierra del Fuego to Point Barrow.
Here is a list of (mostly living) languages in the Americas, sorted by country: http://www.ethnologue.com/country_index....
There are some good websites for individual languages, but the Wikipedia articles tend to be the best: www.wikipedia.org
Here are some outstanding books on the subject:
Marianne Mithun, The Languages of Native North America: http://www.amazon.com/Languages-America-...
Ives Goddard, The Handbook of North American Indians, Volume 17, Languages: http://www.amazon.com/HNDBK-INDIANS-Hand...
Shirley Silver %26amp; Wick Miller, American Indian Languages: Social and Cultural Contexts: http://www.amazon.com/HNDBK-INDIANS-Hand...
Willem Adellar %26amp; Peter Muysken, The Languages of the Andes: http://www.amazon.com/Languages-Andes-Ca...
R.M.W. Dixon %26amp; Alexandra Aikhenveld, The Amazonian Languages: http://www.amazon.com/Amazonian-Language...
Jorge Suarez, The Mesoamerican Indian Languages: http://www.amazon.com/Mesoamerican-Langu...
SHOSHONI LANGUAGE
But since you want information about specific languages, I will suggest SHOSHONI. Here is Idaho State University's Shoshoni website (Shoshoni is taught there as one of the languages): http://www.isu.edu/~loetchri/
Here's another Shoshoni language site (I'm not sure which Shoshoni group maintains it): http://www.native-languages.org/shoshone...
And another that has information from various Shoshoni bands: http://www.shoshonidictionary.com/SDP_LI...
Here's a good grammar of Shoshoni (with a dictionary in the back): Beverly Crum %26amp; Jon Dayley, Western Shoshoni Grammar: http://www.amazon.com/Shoshoni-Occasiona...
And this book has a CD with the songs being sung by the Crums: Beverly Crum, Earl Crum, %26amp; Jon Dayley, Newe Hupia, Shoshoni Poetry Songs: http://www.amazon.com/Newe-Hupia-Shoshon...
And here's another good grammar of a slightly different dialect (if you can get a copy with the accompanying cassette that is best): Drusilla Gould, Introduction to Shoshoni Language: http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Shosh...
(The Crums and Ms. Gould are native speakers of Shoshoni. I know both Beverly and Drusilla personally and they are wonderful teachers. Jon Dayley is an outstanding Anglo linguist at Boise State University. I wrote the first grammar of Timbisha, but his is better.)

Does anyone know if Abel Graywolf is a good name for a Native American...?
... in a sample novel. I'd wanna publish it in at least a short story. I'm not an official writer yet but what do you think? %26amp; i don't know any Native Americans in real life.
Does anyone know if Abel Graywolf is a good name for a Native American...?
If you are setting your novel in the present, it would be good. However, if you are going back 500 years or more, then no.
Reply:I can't speak for them, but from what I gather...
If you are doing a modern story or at least something of the time period they started taking (or had forced onto them) "white" names, then it sounds fine I guess as long as it's not a name you know that anyone actually has or had. (Like no Crazyhorse or anything.) "Graywolf" could well be a family name though...
And just a suggestion... I've heard before that it's a better idea to make up a tribe/Nation, language, etc rather than use what's real. If you don't know any Native people in real life to bounce ideas off of, then it will save you from offending an actual tribe or Nation of people, especially if you keep away from generalized stereotypes.
Reply:graywolf is good but abel not so much think of animals like Swimming Bird..lol my mom worls at a native american clinic so yea!!

What's the name of that Native American song they play at the end of the 1995 Disney movie, Man Of The House?
It's a good song. Soft sounding music with an old sounding Indian chanting words...sounds like...
Oh Wa Yaaaah
Oh Wa Yah Yah
Oh Wa Ya Oh Wee Ya
(than pitch gets higher)
Ya Eee Ya
Oh Wa
Ye Eee Ya
Oh Wa
It's been driving me crazy...who's sings that and what's it called? There's no english anywhere in the song to even guess...THANKS SO MUCH!!!
What's the name of that Native American song they play at the end of the 1995 Disney movie, Man Of The House?
Probably "Return To Innocence"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csMBPYhPr...
Technically the chant is aboriginal Taiwanese, not U.S. Native.
Edit: Looked up the movie, that's it. They must have only used a portion without English.

Why weren't Native Americans given the chance to name what we today call America?
America was named after Amerigo Vespushi. He was a European map maker or explorer and had really nothing to do with these Native Americans. It just seems odd to me that the name given to them or where they are from isn't even something that they chose. This just isn't fair why does everything have to be so Europe-centric?
Why weren't Native Americans given the chance to name what we today call America?
The better issue is that the Native Indians were robbed of their land. The cartographer you mentioned had little to do with their displacement, but as another poster stated, there are many areas named after the Indians. That is not to circumvent the fact that they were mistreated, murdered and now given such small tracts of land.
It is true that many of our now government disregards what I describe as ethnocentric socialism. It separates not only the Indians, but the populace of Americans of African descent as well as others. You never hear of a white person from Africa termed "African American"; only black citizens. I never understood that.
I am of English and Scottish descent. Would one consider me an English-Scottish-American? No; just American. Nor would you consider an African elephant in a zoo as an African American elephant.
These labels are victim of our society. I'm not white (as a sheet of paper) and black people aren't really black either. We are all Americans. We're not white Americans or black Americans or American Indians; we are Americans.
I look forward to when we all come together and realize that we are one nation, no matter of race or color.
Reply:America was invaded and conquered by the Europeans from the other side of the world. They massacred and even displaced many people we would call Native Americans. The Europeans were well-educated and they had the technological advantages to take on the Natives. The European conquerors also had something called paper. On that paper they would write contracts that claim the right to the land, something that the Native Americans did NOT have.
There was also a difference in military. The Natives had sticks and sharp objects, while the Europeans had - you guessed it - guns. A small group of European men with guns could definitely take on tribes who only had tree branches to defend themselves.
Reply:The Native Americans were not a unified nation. Most of them probably had no idea what was beyond their own lands. I doubt the Pawnee knew about the tribes in Brazil. The Sioux probably had no idea that the Seminoles existed. They may have had contact with tribes in the region, but the American continents are vast.
The Europeans, however, had more contact with each other than the Native Americans did. They also travelled more. That is why they named places more than the Native Americans did.
Reply:Well I live in Canada, and "Canada" is derived from a Native word. As is "Ontario". I'd say that there's quite a bit of representation of Native words all throughout the province, not to mention a lot of words.
Lakes Ontario, Huron, Erie, and Michigan are all named after Native words or tribes.
But since the Natives got owned, it's no surprise that we wouldn't bother consulting them on our continent's name. Besides, from a European perspective, they were landing on uncharted land and had to name everything. The Natives had names for places, but the tribes were so diverse and independent of each other that the entire continent didn't have a specific name.
Reply:It's because Europeans began to explore places outside their own domain. They named the country America as a reference for themselves. They didn't simply announce it to the world and expect for everyone to agree with them.
Other people began to adopt the word and the name stuck.
Reply:It is all a little silly now. I was reading a website where a guy in Turkey was saying that the name of Egypt wasn't Egypt. I think he was saying it was named by the Jewish and that it is wrong. "A rose by any other name smells just as sweet"...actually he was talking about his competition, the Rose Theater, and its smelly bathrooms.
Reply:Well, when this country was founded, they were called Indians, along with some rather poor stereotypical insulting names. Native American came along with the whole political correctness movement, its not like George Washington called them Native Americans.
History. Study it.
Reply:"This just isn't fair why does everything have to be so Europe-centric?"
Don't you mean ethnocentric?
Hey, name one section of the United States of America that does not have indian names...oops I was un-PC...OH WELL!
Reply:The name was given,and it just stuck.Native Americans did call America something,just never was really used and nobody cared.Europe was more dominating Native Americans didn't really have control.They were being dominated.
Reply:Because the Europeans threw them off their land, forced on to reservations(which were always the worst land available). They had no rights. They were viewed as savages. They were actively exterminated.
Reply:They might have had a say if there were a civilized front, think about it all the different tribes scattered everywhere and most of tribes were hostile twards the white's witch made it impossible to do Businesss
Reply:The name is only the tip of the ice-berg. natives were robbed of our resources and given land only so they could pay tributes of cash-crops.
Reply:We speak European languages that took some names for certain things. There were hundreds of different native languages and probably not one of them had a name for North America.
Reply:I'm sure they could have cared less about what europeans called their land. I'm sure they cared more about you know, being murdered.
Reply:Because history doesn't acknowledge civilizations that go extinct.
Reply:Um, why didn't Native Americans not get the chance to choose to not be killed and have their land taken over?
Reply:They weren't given much choice about anything.
Reply:True, but a lot of states and cities were named after some kind of Native American type thing.
Reply:So what were we supposed to name it after some dude named Bouncing Rabbit? Yah and we're worried what foreigners think of us. Sheesh.
Reply:To the victor go the spoils....
