Native American Languages

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.

Yes. The Northern Cheyenne live on a reservation next to the Crow reservation in Montana (a small portion of their original homeland), while the Southern Cheyenne were removed to Oklahoma where their descendants still live today.

Asians are usually skinny because of their diet. It includes a lot of plant material and the way the food is cooked also has an effect on body weight.
It's just because they eat healthier foods then americans.

native Americans were in the USA
inut During traditional Wasco wedding ceremonies, the wedding couple stands on a tule mat. They are wrapped with a Pendleton Woolen Mills blanket. Two eagle feathers are put into the bride's hair. At the end of the ceremony, the couple give the tule mat away to an elder.

Warrior Is Tushka..said like TuhshKa....Not toshka... The u says uh. TUSHKA =)

There are over 5,00 tribal dialects to choose from.

they can beat my meat?

A horse named Lightfoot may have been born to another horse called Blackfoot in Ireland in the 1920s; neither horse has any connection at all with the Blackfoot tribes.

There is apparently a modern US citizen named Don Lightfoot who served in the US Marine Corps and "traces his heritage to the Blackfoot tribe", whatever that means. He is not and never has been a Blackfoot, Piegan or Blood chief.

Most of them were assimilated into the society; nowadays between 60% and 80% of the population is considered mestizo, or the result of interracial marriages between Native Americans and Spanish conquistadors.

The fraction that was unassimilated, consisted mainly of semi-nomadic groups that received the same treatment of their counterparts in the United States: often sacked from their lands, fleeing to increasingly inhospitable lands, such as the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts to the north, or the Lacandon Jungle to the south.

It is impossible to give an accurate answer since many languages became extinct long before European explorers arrived to record them and others are still being discovered in South America today. The languages spoken by the Clovis people, the Mound Builders and the original occupants of Cahokia for example are unknown and unrecorded.

Only rough estimates can be made; these give around 300 known languages originally spoken north of Mexico, 27 languages in Mexico and Central America and around 1,500 in South America, totalling 1,827. There were probably many more than this.

It is belived that that word Iroquois could be derived possibly from the phrase "hiro kone" wick was used by the people of the first nation known as the Haudenssaunee who are commonly know today as the Iroquois.

the tribes of the chesse peas and anything that rhymes with chesse

They practiced ritual cannibalism upon their vanquished enemies.

While they WOULD roast captured Spaniards alive, they would NOT eat them, in an act of vengeance toward the Spanish nation.

They followed and hunted the buffalo herds, considering the animals to be relatively tame and easily frightened.

As a tribe, they were hunters, gatherers, AND farmers.

Almost all natives were slaves until they formed an army and started a war with the English

A geek can be cool; a nerd can't. It may seem like an oxymoron, but I'm considered a preppy geek. I love comics, sci-fi, the net, and other geek stuff, but I also have plenty of friends and I love shopping, style, etc. This is often called geek chic.

A nerd is not usually well-adjusted to society; a nerd's friends are almost exclusively other nerds. Nerds are often smarter than geeks.

A geek doesn't have to be smart. He can just like wierd things. Most often nerds are the smart ones. So a smart geek would really just be a nerd but and a stupid nerd is probably not a nerd but just a geek.

also a geek waits outside a movie theater for 4 hours waiting for the Harry Potter premiere, a nerd on the otherhand goes to the premiere dressed as Harry Potter.

see the difference ?
