Native American Languages

Popularly it is believed this term was coined in the 1960's or 1970's, however the first use of this term to describe the "natives so recently discovered in the americas" was Francisco de Vitoria c.1532 (a legal scholar) - Relectiones Theologicae.

From the Delaware Indian word, meaning "mountains and valleys alternating"; the same as the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania

There is not one Native American language. There are more groups and languages can list.

Are you looking for a specific language from a group in a specific region?

Yes... Creek Or Muskogee. Possibly Seminole, but its My Understanding they Speak Muskogee to since "Seminole" Means Wild Ones.... in Muskogee

There is no "Native American" language so no translation is possible. There were/are thousands of Indigenous Peoples all across what Europeans call "America" (ALL of 'America, including both North and South, NOT to be confused with USA since it is merely controlling a small part of 'America'. Each of these Peoples had their own languages which is part of what makes them a "People", a nation.

To get any translation, one would have to choose one of these Indigenous Nations. I.e., in the language of the Lakota, a word commonly translated as 'warrior' is Akicita.

However, the question and the English words place an Euro-centric context on this. Obviously 'warrior' is built on 'war'. These are both foreign concepts to many native peoples. Sure, they fit the colonial stereotypes of bloodthirsty savages, a meme needed to justify genocide against them, but it can hardly be an objective analysis when the foundation is slanted.

As an example, a disputed hunting territory might be settled with a vigorous, strenuous game of stickball, similar to lacrosse. This differs greatly from the European culture of invading, conquering, thieving and killing as is defined by their concept of 'war' and warriors.

"For us, warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another's life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who can not provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity."

- - Tatanka Iyotake - Hunkpapa Lakota Sundancer (commonly known as Sitting Bull)

Finally, creating some Euro-centric concept as a "spirit warrior" does further damage typical of colonial cultural imposition. Such a stereotype might well exist only in your imagination. Wrapping a foreign colonial concept in an Indigenous language wrapper doesn't make it "native".

The Tuscarora speak Tuscarora, it is a dialect belonging to the Iroquoian family. There are almost a dozen known versions of the Iroquoian language, unfortunately many are instinct. With the Tuscarora having less than 5 Tuscarora speakers left... related languages include but not limited to are; Northern Iroquoian Languages Central Iroquoian Languages Tuscarora Nottoway Lake Iroquoian Languages Mohawk-Oneida Languages Mohawk Oneida Seneca-Onondaga Languages Cayuga Onondaga Seneca Huron/Wyandot Laurentian (St. Lawrence Iroquoian) Susquehannock Southern Iroquoian Languages Cherokee (Tsalagi) with Cherokee having the most unrelated dialect than the rest. Think of it like the difference in dialects between northern US and southern US, UK and Irish/English... then toss in Jamaican English.

Amphibious, I guess. An attack from the sea was referred to as an amphibious assault.

the native americans call the buffalo tatanka. the white buffalo is sacred to the native americans.

When I was at Frank's Landing on the Nisqually in 1968 participating in support for native fishing rights, I listened to the words of Maiselle Bridges at every opportunity. On one occasion she very powerfully asserted that the meaning of "Tahoma" was, "Don't forget the water, son." Don't forget the water, son--she repeated these words several times, with an intensity that embedded them in my heart, where they have been living for over fifty years.

He used the symbols to make a new syllabary writing system for Cherokee. It seems he knew the concept of writing but not how the English alphabet worked and could not read it. It was a brilliant invention seldom done before.

There are 85 characters one for each syllable in the Cherokee language. Some of the symbols look like Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Cyrillic but that don't have the same sound. others are made up. It is similar to the Japanese kana system.

The system that he invented was so easy to use and successful that within about 10-20 years of so about 90% of Cherokee were literate in their own language and there were several newspapers. This is a much higher rate of literacy than was common among Euro-Americans at the time. There have been very few changes needed to the system since 1828.

Teepees were essentially the main types of houses used by the native American tribes that traveled regularly (the natives that lived in the planes). They provided shelter from strong weather and fires could be placed inside the middle of a teepee to provide heat. the main use for teepees was that they could be disassembled extremely fast and then carries. this portability allowed the natives to pack up and chase their game when the tribe decides to move.

They would get sticks, shaped like a fork. Then they would get a straight stick and carve one of the ends pointy and sharp. Then they would stab the meat into the stick. Then place the forked shaped sticks into the ground firmly. Then place the straight stick with the meat on it and roast it on top of the fire. Also they would turn the straight stick around so that all the meat gets cooked.

There is no information about languages that were spoken by Tocobaga people.

The governmental body which was the seed for the system of representative government in America was the house of burgesses. The Virginia House of Burgesses was the first legislative assembly of elected representatives in North America.

Squanto was the name of the Indian who spoke English and helped the Pilgrims survive. He was a member Pawtuxet band of the Wampanoag tribe who were very influential tribe in the area of where the Pilgrims first settled.

So many Native Americans in Central America survived the encounter with the Spanish because they withdrew to the inland mountains.
