I'm trying to fine out what tribe my Great , Great GrandMothers was from. her last name was "NIGGIE" we are from NC. Thanks for any help.
Native american last name NIGGIE?
Can you verify the document which shows this as a last name? I do not see it in my usual sources, including anyone of the name in the US in 1880.
In addition... if you had a relative (of any name) who is/was Native american, it does NOT indicate that to be a Native American name. For example... it might be that John Jones, born in England, had 10 sons. ONE of those sons could have married a Native American, thus HIS descendants would be legitimately Native lineage. The other 9 families, with the same name, would not.
Can you provide an exact name and approx date for her, from some kind of valid record? If not her, one of her children. If there is some documentation, it usually can be built on.

Can you name "Native American" actor who was best known as the "crying Indian" in that old '70s commercial?
It was an anti-littering commercial. He was an actor and appeared in movies and on TV for decades. (Turns out he was actually Sicillian!)

Why does the military name all of the helicopters after native American tribes and names?
Apache, Apach Longbow, Blackhawk, Shinook, Little Bird, Night Hawk, Sea Stallion, UH-1H/N/Y Iroquois, Cobra
Why does the military name all of the helicopters after native American tribes and names?
Respect. Also COBRA in not Native to America in any form.
Reply:The policy of naming Army aircraft after Indians tribes, chiefs or terms was made official by authority of Army Regulation (AR) 70-28, dated 4 April 1969. However, not all names are directly related to Indians, even if they sound that way.
LONG BOW is English, that is how they defeated the French.
Think of Robin Hood. Hardly related to Native Americans.
CHINOOK means "warm wind" blowing in the Pacific North west. It was chosen for the name of a helicopter because when you get near a Chinook copter, you feel a "warm wind" from the rotor blast.
LITTLE BIRD got its name because of its small size relative to other copters used by the US ARMY.
NIGHT HAWK? There is no copter with that name. Perhaps you mean the Nighthawk, which is the nickname for the F117 stealth fighter, which originally only flew at night, thus its name.
SEA STALLION? How is that related to Native Americans?
"Sea" is an English word and "stallion" comes from Middle English.
COBRA comes from the Portuguese language, not related to Native Americans but rather snakes in the far east.
You did get IROQUOIS and APACHE right, definitely Native American. And you missed KIOWA WARRIOR and LAKOTA.
Reply:Probably out of respect
Reply:Because the USA is ashamed of the way we treated the native Americans over 100 years ago.
Reply:because it sounds really cool!
Reply:It is how things are.
Reply:You asked "why' well that is a good point.
The long posting, I think is from Army Aviation Digest, or such is fairly accurate.
It was about 1955 or so when the policy was set out, by the US Army alone. The numerous helicopters, many about forgotten, all had names based upon Native American tribes.
The 1966 issues with the Cobra is solely due to the DOD
being in a legal hassle with Piper Aviation which was also naming aircraft after Indians.
The artices written after 1967 are full of what is basicially "nice" material about the Army seeking approval from the varied tribes, which they did.
But in the 1950's it was just like naming a baseball or football team after some Native American tribe.
The Otter and Beaver fixed wings were already made (one from Canada) when the military signed the contracts. they actually flew in Vietnam, amazing span of service. But we also had Sioux, Mohawk and others.
A few PAR parachute Infantry regiments have native American names or slogans, etc.
Reply:As a backward apology for the genocide of the tribes. By the way, the American native does not appreciate this one bit! They find it an insult to their heritage.
I am Part native American, they are not complimented.
Reply:because they are war hawks. THE GENERAL policy of naming Army aircraft after Indians tribes, chiefs or terms was made official by authority of Army Regulation (AR) 70-28, dated 4 April 1969. The names were authorized for use in public releases and other documents as a ready reference. The Indian names chosen were very popular among Army personnel for many years.
The Commanding General (CG) of the U.S. Army Aviation Missile Command (AMCOM), located at Redstone Arsenal, near Huntsville, Alabama, had the responsibility of initiating action to select a popular name for an Army aircraft. For this purpose, the CG maintained a list of possible names obtained from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. For brevity the names usually consisted of only one word. When a new aircraft reached the production stage, or immediately before it went into production, the CG selected five possible names. The selection decision was based on the sound, the history, and the relationship of the name to the mission of the aircraft. The names chosen had to appeal to the imagination, without sacrificing dignity, and suggest an aggressive spirit and confidence in the capabilities of the aircraft. They also had to suggest mobility, firepower and endurance. The chosen names were sent to the Trade Mark (鈩? Division of the U.S. Patent Office to determine if there was any legal objection to their use.
Some Army aircraft, such as the Bird Dog and Otter, did not have Indian names. Those that did not were named before the policy change of 1969 was enacted. AR 70-28 specified that these would not be changed.

How can one find out if their family name has a poll number on the Native American Indian registry?
If you know the specific roll you are looking for, you can usually find it online. For example The Dawes Roll (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek %26amp; Seminole) can be found here: http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/fi...
How can one find out if their family name has a poll number on the Native American Indian registry?
First off, it's ROLL number. ROLL numbers are maintained by individual tribes. My enROLLment number is maintained by my tribe. My husband's enROLLment number is maintained by his tribe. My tribe does not keep track of his tribe's enROLLment and vice versa.
To find out if anyone in your family was enROLLed, you need to contact the modern day government of the tribe from which your family descends. The US Bureau of Indian Affairs or any other state or federal government agencey DOES NOT maintain this data. Tribes maintain data for individuals who were/are enROLLed. If an individual did not enROLL, the tribe would not have information on that person. You would only find the enROLLment information for your ancestor if they enROLLed with a tribe. The enROLLment information would be maintained by that specific tribe and no other.
Reply:Poll number??? What do you mean exactly the family history?? Hmmmm, well i'm apache so i would check the tribal records or archives and see what you get there. They also have the main archive building in Golden, Colorado i belive. Sister has been there calls it the Federal Center or Federal Building. Good luck though.
Reply:my son is 1/2 kiowa-apachee, and I had to contact my local indian affairs dept. I would check there first. Call information and request that number for your county or surrounding county. Or you may google it.
I would put in the box, maybe - indian heritage. or something like that.

Can you name some Native American Religions?
Their religions were not organized such as world religions are now. Their spiritual belief was part of daily living, akin to Buddhist practice now where the religion IS how you live.
For more details you'd have to pick a tribe and study their specific beliefs and ways of life. There were not gods worshiped per se as much as great spirits to be honoured.

How do you properly pronounce Anpaytoo and Hantaywee ? They are both native american names.?
I'm very much a novice (so if someone fluent comes along, give them the 10), but they look like phonic spellings of Lakota or Dakota ('Sioux') words.
The first is probably Anpetu (day), but said pretty much (minus their accent) how you have it spelled there (ahn-pay-too, soft 't', more like a 'd' sound).
Hit the audio next to the sun picture...like that, minus the "wi"
http://www.inext.cz/siouan/ALPHABET/alph...
The second I can't figure out, but looks written phonetically as well. (Probably a soft first 'a' as in previous word, similar first syllable but with an 'h' sound added to the start.)
