Famous Native Americans

During the time of American exploration, many Native Americans played key roles. There were many leaders that protected their people from forcible relocation through different means. Some were notably peaceable, and others took more violent routes. Some worked with explorers to discover new areas, as well as many other contributions.

Why do you think Long Wolf and Jessie Black Feather were given those names?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is likely that Long Wolf and Jessie Black Feather were given those names to reflect their Native American heritage. "Long Wolf" might suggest qualities of independence, strength, and resilience, while "Black Feather" could symbolize wisdom, spiritual connection, or a specific tribal affiliation. These names may have been chosen intentionally to honor their cultural background and identity.

By living, you are learning. To survive and improve your life, you have to learn. In terms of academic things, it is very useful to learn. Knowing how to read and write is important. You would not have been able to put this question or read the answer if you didn't know how to read and write. Learning can be fun and interesting, though sometimes it isn't those things. It is good for you in terms of using your brain and preparing you for things that will happen after you finish your formal education. It is only much later in life that people realise how important it is, so make sure you take advantage of the chance to learn while you have it, even if it is difficult.

Explain and evaluate the cultural differences between the native Americans and Europeans?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is not anything that is the same between these two cultures, it is easier to explain the differences as this: European colonists, and their American descendants; pretend to want or strive for a governmental and cultural system of freedom for all while supplying the needs of all when in reality they do not practice any portion of that purposed belief system.

As examples: Religion: European's / Americans, purport to support religious freedom for all religions while in reality they disdain, reject, bad mouth, and force these others to endure their religion while rejecting any attempt to endure the others religion. Simply look at your own money, or pledge of allegiance, to understand that - also note that "God" is well understood (at least in America) to mean the "Christian God" and no other. Government: European's / Americans, purport to stand for an open and honest government that protects the freedom of its citizens when in reality the US Government is one of the most corrupt (dollar for dollar) of any government on earth, and there is no "redress of grievance" allowed either in a political sense, or through the court systems. The USA has a constitution (supreme law of the land) and it contains one crime, Treason (death penalty offense), but even with this every single member of government (in the USA) commits this crime on a daily basis and nothing is done about it. Please also note that any attempt to do something, report the crime to the Grand Jury, ends with you in jail or shot to death. Native governments executed these people for those crimes without any delay. Classification system: European's / Americans have introduced, and find much pleasure in, a classification system. This system denotes others as (for a limited example) White Trash, Red Necks, etc.etc... Native American's see others as members or non-members of the tribe, with very little overall difference in rights. Please note that this is only a small example of the differences between these cultures, there would not be enough room (or time to read it) to list them all.

What are clouds named?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Clouds are named by their height.

Strato means low so that means Stratus is a low-lying cloud. Where cirro means high making cirrus clouds high up in the atmosphere.

A stratus cloud is a sign of either fair weather or rain and snow.

A cumulus cloud is a sign of fairweather or thunderstorms.

A cirrus cloud is a sign of fairweather or approaching storms. this is because they have been pushed up into the atmosphere by the approaching storm systems.

Meteorologists get confusing when they start saying that stratocumlus clouds are coming in or that cirrostratus clouds are descending towards the earth. The only one i seem to understand is Cumulonimbus clouds which are storm clouds which often end up being thunderstorms.

In what year did red cloud become chief?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Chief Red Cloud went to Washington DC on numerous occasions in the 1870's.


In 1871, Red Cloud was informed that he would be a welcome visitor to the "Great Father's house in Washington." Red Cloud, for two reasons, decided to accept the invitation. First, he welcomed the opportunity to tell the president himself that his people did not want reservation life, but rather wanted to freely live on their traditional lands in the traditional manner. Secondly, he had heard of the Indian Commissioner, Ely S. Parker (the Iroquois Donehogawa) and wanted to see for himself if this was truly an Indian man who could not only speak the white man's language, but read and write it as well.

In 1878 he and his people moved to Pine Ridge Agency, whence he made several trips to Washington, D.C., to publicize his views.

Name of red indian woman?

Asked by Wiki User

That depends whether you are interested in historical accuracy, if you are genuinely interested in native languages and cultures - or if you prefer to promote the "ignorant white American" tradition of calling any native American female a squaw.

"Squaw" is a word used in American English that derives from the Natick (Wampanoag/Narragansett/Massachusett) words squaas, squas and squaus meaning a female. Even the neighbouring Algonquian-speaking tribes had their own different word for this:

  • Delaware ochqueu or xkwe,
  • Powhatan crenepo or cucheneppo or -squa
  • Menominee ikwe,
  • Ojibwe anishinaabekwe,
  • Shawnee ichque,
  • Abenaki phanem,
  • Maliseet -sqehs
  • Mohegan sqá
  • Naskapi iskwaaw

Other linguistic groups had their own words for a female or a woman:

  • Kiowa mahyehn
  • Comanche nai'bi
  • Onondaga hehron goniagui
  • Oneida laothuwisʌ́tslaˀ
  • Cayuga agǫgweh
  • Seneca yakökwe
  • Mohawk yakon:kwe
  • Maya (Yucatec) ko'olel or xch'uup
  • Flathead (Kalispel) smeem
  • Lakota win
  • Crow bia
  • Hidatsa mia or wia
  • Arikara sápat
  • Mandan wiinh
  • Shoshone wa'ipi
  • Paiute mogo'ne
  • Zuni mak'i
  • Aztec (Nahuatl) cihuatl
  • Yaqui jamut
  • Hopi wùuti
  • Cahuilla nícill
  • Inca (Quechua) warmi or huarmi
  • Xavante pi'õ

The idea that all native American women are "squaws" is clearly totally wrong and the use of that word should be avoided - it is simply insulting, ignorant and simplistic.

^ We actually prefer to be called "Indigenous" because any natural born human inhabiting either North or South America is a "Native American". Interesting side note, people from other areas of the world invade "Native American" chat rooms and post some pretty offensive and anti-American propaganda. They are mistaken because they took the literal translation of "Native American" and assume that a "Native American" chat room is full of average Americans. Little do they they're talking to a bunch of savages !!!
