What is ya-hi-ye-ne-he hega translated from Cherokee to English?
I think it means "steady as a beating drum. I did not find any evidence of whether this particular phrase was really a Native American language or something Disney made up. However, the words would definitely not be Cherokee as Pocahontas was Powhatan. The Cherokee did not live in Virginia. Several actual Powhatan words are used in the movie though. Including 'wingapo' which means 'helo' and 'mattaquenatorath' which means 'I don't understand you'. Disney would have had difficulty translating many things into Powhatan. The language is now extinct and the only words from the language that are still known come from two word lists recorded in the 1600s. One contained 500 words and the other contained 50 words in Powhatan.
