makwa
The word for "bear" in Ojibwe is makwa, sometimes mako- in combination with another word.
Brian named his raft "The Makwa," which means "bear" in Ojibwe. He chose this name as a symbol of strength and resilience to face the challenges of surviving in the wilderness.
The Algonquin (or Algonkin) tribe of the Ottawa river valley in Canada are distantly related to the Penobscot people (part of the Abenaki group), as they are distantly related to all tribes speaking Algonquian languages.This can clearly be demonstrated by comparing a few words in each language:English...................Algonquin......................Penobscotone.........................pezhik..........................bazegwtwo.........................niish.............................nizthree.......................niswi............................nassun..........................kiziz.............................gizosbear.........................makwa........................awasoswolf.........................mahigan......................molsemsnowshoes..............aagimag......................ogmak
A single word like that is unlikely to translate into "little black bear" in English, simply because "little" and "black" would have to be expressed as separate concepts in most native languages.The Ojibwe term makwa means simply "bear"; to say "black bear" is two words - makadewi-makwa. To make this a "little black bear" adds a diminutive ending (-oons): makadewi-makoons.So makoons on its own simply means a bear cub, which might be brown, black or any other colour.
Racoon's, Ground Hogs, Opossums and Fox's and any other critter that would be attracted to the humus, manure etc. that was used when planting. A electric fence worked wonders for me. DT
Before the arrival of horses in the Americas, the tribes of the Sioux had no word for that animal. When they first saw horses they invented a new word that literally means "mystery dog": shunkawakan.
Ojibwe is made up of many different dialects, so as a result there are many different words meaning "spirit" in the Ojibwe language:aadisookaanachaagachaakojaakbawaagan (a guardian spirit animal)bawaajigan mayaajiiging (a guardian spirit plant)gichi-manidoo (Great Spirit)gichi-ojichaag (Holy Spiritgiizis (sun spirit)jiibay (spirit of the dead)Jiibayaabooz (spirit rabbit)maji-achaag (bad spirit)maji-aya`aa (evil spirit)Makwa Manidoo (bear spirit)Manidoo-bizhiki (buffalo spirit)zhaawanosii (south spirit)ninjaak (my spirit)
The Algonkin or Algonquin tribe still live today in many small independent bands on reservations in Ontario and Quebec in Canada. Historically they had no "tribal symbol" - such things were almost unknown for most native groups throughout the entire Americas.In modern times some Algonquin bands have adopted various symbols for use on Internet sites, flags and so on. The Mattawa/North Bay Algonquin use the image of a netted hoop (wawiieiak takobidjigan in Algonquin), often confused by many people for a "dream catcher" but unconnected with that concept. The netted hoop was a symbol of the universe, the unending order of things and was often attached to cradleboards or the hair of warriors.The Algonquins of Golden Lake use the image of a bear in silhouette (makwa in Algonquin), while the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan have a green turtle (mikinak in Algonquin).
Mukwa, Muckwa, Muckwah, Mukwah, or however you choose to spell it means "Big Bear".=======================================================Answer:The Lakota word for a bear is mato [pronounced mah-to].The first answer gives the general Algonquin word for bear (not "big bear" as incorrectly stated) - makwa and variations: Shawnee m'kwah, Ojibwe mukkwah, Cree musquoi, Pequot maikwa, Narraganset maske.Lakota is a Siouan language, not an Algonquian one.
