The word Arapaho may already be plural, but there is no general agreement on the correct way to write the singular and plural forms.
Its origin is obscure; some people claim it comes from the Pawnee term tirapihu (= he trades, compare Arikara raapih = to buy), others that it is from the Crow words aaraxpéahush (= tatoos-many people) or from a similar Hidatsa word.
In either case it is clearly not the tribe's own name for themselves, which is hinóno'éí. The meaning of this word is also not clear, although it looks similar to the word for man or person. It is identical in the singular and plural form.
Some modern writers use the form Arapahoe and Arapahoes, or Arapaho and Arapahos; if the real meaning of Arapaho is "many tattoos people" then putting an s on the end seems unnecessary.

What kind of food did the Arapaho Indians eat?
The Arapaho are typical of the historic Plains nomads, following the herds of buffalo, deer, antelope and elk which they hunted continuously. The diet was over 90% meat, which was dried in the sun to preserve it for use over the winter months.This diet was supplemented by wild roots, berries and nuts which were gathered by the women at the appropriate season. These included Perideridia gairdneri, the wild carrot (yeneinít in Arapaho); Indian breadroot or Pediomelum esculentum, (cee'éé' in Arapaho - the same word was also applied to wild potato); wild turnip (nonookúce'éé' in Arapaho); bear root/biscuit root or Lomatium dissectum(nii'éétee' in Arapaho); buffalo or bull berries (hóóxehíb in Arapaho); pine nuts (sée3íbino' in Arapaho) and many more.See links below for images:
