A "Native Word" is a word spoken in the native language of the people who inhabit, or inhabited, the land or area where the word is spoken. For example:

In the Dakota areas the word "Dakota" or "Lakota" is a Sioux word meaning "People" or "People together" (Depending on clan dialect).

The same meaning is applied to other words such as "Cherokee" which is self defined by the Cherokee to mean "People," in fact most tribal names when translated just simply mean "People" or "People together (tribe)" in that tribes langauge.
