Best Answer

All native Americans historically preferred to show appreciation, regret, agreement and so on, rather than saying the words.

In Ojibwe/Chippewa/Ojibwa/Anishinaabemowin the word miigwetch or migwetch (with a long or short first vowel) is used more today than it was traditionally, as a result of white influence.

Miigwetch means "it is too much" and is used for "thanks".

An alternative is ni-mamooyawendam (I am thankful).

Algonquin is closely related to the Ojibwa language and it uses meegwetch (It is too much) for thanks, just as Ojibwe uses miigwech.
