Many names, and words from different tribes have found places in the English languages; however many are not what people think and are derogatory overall. Examples: * Hey (as a greeting) stems from several tribal words that mean the same thing, and are very close in pronunciation: Yata-Hey * Squaw (derogatory) while the original meaning of this word was simply "woman" the term has become derogatory meaning, either: whore or menial. * Chief - meaning leader, although not a strictly native word. Many places have Native American names, although they have been changed some to make it easier to say (some of them).

You were adopted and your adopted parents told you you are part American Indian. How do you find out?
You pay to have a DNA test. That test can tell you if you are part American Indian and if so what tribe you are probably a part of. It can also tell you what percent you have of Indian blood. I think I could be 1/32 from Africa, 1/32 from China, 1/16 from Ireland, 1/8 American Indian... I do not remember the rest. There is no telling what your DNA will reveal.
