Alaska's Mount McKinley is also known by this native name?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is called Denali or the Great One.
Numerous native peoples of the area had their own names for this prominent peak. The local Athabaskan name for the mountain, the one used by the Native Americans with access to the flanks of the mountain (living in the Yukon, Tanana and Kuskowim basins), is Dinale or Denali ("the High One"). To the South the Dena'ina people in the Susitna River valley used the name Dghelay Ka'a (simplified to Doleika), meaning "the big mountain", while the Aleuts called it Traleika.

How do you spell the di'nai language of Navajo people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Traditional Navajo names are completely different. You can't really translate English names to them at all. The Latin meaning of Deanna is divine or holy so it could be Diyin At'ééd, holy girl. That is not a really Navajo name though.

Some traditional Navajo girl names are :Ádeezbaa'((she is going to lead a raid), Átsé Deezba (She is going first on a raid), Dlį́baa (Warrior Girl), Naazbaaa'(she went on a raid), or Asdzą́ą́łtsoii (yellow woman), and Ashiike Naakii ( the one with twin boys)

What is a Native American Indian man called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A Native American man is called a man today. In the early days of the United States, a Native American might have been called a brave or a chief.

Also, Native Americans are not Indians. When Columbus set on his journey, he intended to find to a western route to India and when he came to America, he assumed he was in India and erroneously called everyone Indians. Today calling a Native American Indian may be offensive to both Native Americans and also real Indians, who we now know are on the other side of America.
