Since most native American languages were not written down before the arrival of white explorers, the way we write native words today is always a matter of debate and argument. The sound q really represents kw or a type of k, depending on the agreed modern orthography (standard method of recording sounds in a language).
Some native languages in the Americas do not have a sound corresponding with q, while many others certainly do. One of these is Natick, the language spoken by the Massachusetts, Narragansett, Wampanoag and their close neighbours in New England.
A few Natick words are:
quanunon (a hawk)
quaquequeshont (a grasshopper)
quehtam (he fears it)
quenappu (he sits)
quequan (it shakes)
quequecum (a duck)
queshau (he jumps)
qunnegk (a female deer)
qunni (it is long)
qunuhtug (a spear)
qushkeu (he returns)
qussuk (a rock)
quttahham (he measures, he weighs)

Why were the native aericans ignored in manifest destiny?
Manifest Destiny took lands from Native Americans. The philosophy of it was that God wanted the people of the United States to move west and settle land. From the very start of the colonization of North America the Native American tribes were seen as secondary and inconsequential. With the election of Jackson the philosophy of a "good Indian was a dead one" came full circle. Tribes were forced to move onto reservations and attacked by federal troops. Millions of buffalo were killed to starve the plains tribes and Native American children were separated from the tribes and families and put in government schools. The whole history of the relationship between the Native American tribes and the American government is one of abuse, death, and taking ancestral lands.
