In what year did red cloud become chief?
Chief Red Cloud went to Washington DC on numerous occasions in the 1870's.
In 1871, Red Cloud was informed that he would be a welcome visitor to the "Great Father's house in Washington." Red Cloud, for two reasons, decided to accept the invitation. First, he welcomed the opportunity to tell the president himself that his people did not want reservation life, but rather wanted to freely live on their traditional lands in the traditional manner. Secondly, he had heard of the Indian Commissioner, Ely S. Parker (the Iroquois Donehogawa) and wanted to see for himself if this was truly an Indian man who could not only speak the white man's language, but read and write it as well.
In 1878 he and his people moved to Pine Ridge Agency, whence he made several trips to Washington, D.C., to publicize his views.
That depends whether you are interested in historical accuracy, if you are genuinely interested in native languages and cultures - or if you prefer to promote the "ignorant white American" tradition of calling any native American female a squaw.
"Squaw" is a word used in American English that derives from the Natick (Wampanoag/Narragansett/Massachusett) words squaas, squas and squaus meaning a female. Even the neighbouring Algonquian-speaking tribes had their own different word for this:
- Delaware ochqueu or xkwe,
- Powhatan crenepo or cucheneppo or -squa
- Menominee ikwe,
- Ojibwe anishinaabekwe,
- Shawnee ichque,
- Abenaki phanem,
- Maliseet -sqehs
- Mohegan sqá
- Naskapi iskwaaw
Other linguistic groups had their own words for a female or a woman:
- Kiowa mahyehn
- Comanche nai'bi
- Onondaga hehron goniagui
- Oneida laothuwisʌ́tslaˀ
- Cayuga agǫgweh
- Seneca yakökwe
- Mohawk yakon:kwe
- Maya (Yucatec) ko'olel or xch'uup
- Flathead (Kalispel) smeem
- Lakota win
- Crow bia
- Hidatsa mia or wia
- Arikara sápat
- Mandan wiinh
- Shoshone wa'ipi
- Paiute mogo'ne
- Zuni mak'i
- Aztec (Nahuatl) cihuatl
- Yaqui jamut
- Hopi wùuti
- Cahuilla nícill
- Inca (Quechua) warmi or huarmi
- Xavante pi'õ
The idea that all native American women are "squaws" is clearly totally wrong and the use of that word should be avoided - it is simply insulting, ignorant and simplistic.
^ We actually prefer to be called "Indigenous" because any natural born human inhabiting either North or South America is a "Native American". Interesting side note, people from other areas of the world invade "Native American" chat rooms and post some pretty offensive and anti-American propaganda. They are mistaken because they took the literal translation of "Native American" and assume that a "Native American" chat room is full of average Americans. Little do they they're talking to a bunch of savages !!!
