How do you say king in Lakota Sioux?

Answer 1

There is no word for king in Navajo. Navajo leaders did not have hereditary positions of absolute power. Navajo leaders were many and had no power to order anyone around. The word for leader is: naatʼáanii

The word for the king in cards is from Spanish and is: zhéé. From rey

Answer 2

shizhé'é - my father

nizhé'é- your father

bizhé'é - his/her/it's father

nihizhé'é - their or our father

azhé'é-- someone's father

Words like father, mother, arm, leg etc cannot be un- possessed. They have to belong to someone or something( his , mine, yours etc) . Other nouns like rock or water or horse don't always have to have a marker for who it belongs to.

Father as in "My Father"( in heaven) is sometimes said Shitaa', nitaa', nihitaa', etc.

Answer 3

You don't - the idea of kings, queens, princes and princesses is a purely European one and has nothing to do with native American cultures. It is a popular myth that has been encouraged by such inaccurate films as Disney's "Pocahontas". There is no word for "king" in any native languages of North America.

Answer 4

Naatʼáanii - means "leader" in Navajo. It comes from the root word nit'áh, which signifies the very growth processes that lead to maturity. There were never leaders who inherited power or commanded the way a Queen does in the English sense.

It has a principal in a position to make decisions for the common good of the people. Traditionally, this title is reserved for male leaders, but in times where there is not a male to hold the title, a woman may rise to the occasion.

Queen in card games is: Łį́'ígíí (it means "that which is a horse" because there was a horse on the Spanish cards)

Answer 5

There is no word for king, queen, prince or princess in Lakota since these are purely European concepts.
