What is the native American word for wild?
There probably isn't one - most, if not all, Indigenous languages don't have a word for "wild" because "wilderness" was not a concept. What is now known as "the wilderness" was home, and where food was gathered or hunted. The land wasn't wild to them because they knew it.
What is the native American word for penguin?
First, there is no such language as "Native American". There were over 2000 different languages and dialects spoke by Native Americans.
Second- penguins live at the very southern tip of South America, and the beaches of Antarctica. Native Americans are at the other end of the earth, and never saw a penguin. Therefore no word for penguin.

What is Lakota words for Talking Crow?
The Lakota word for a crow (bird) is kangi(with a nasal "a" sound).
There are many different verbs for "to talk", each with a different shade of meaning that is dificult to express in English. Woyag means "talking or telling things", woich'iglakAmeans to talk about oneself, akhiyA is to talk in a group, howayA is to talk intensely without stopping, and so on.
Kangi woyag would therefore mean "a crow bird that tells things".

What is the old word for Wolf Spirit?
There are more than 450 different languages spoken in India, so you would have to be more specific.
If you are talking about Native American Languages, there are more than 700 spoken today. Again, you would need to specify which language you want to translate into.
Answer:
It depends on which of the hundreds of tribes of Native Americans, but a common Native American language is the Dakota Native American language. Some Native American languages are similar to the Dakota language too, so I'll just tell you it in Dakota.
The Dakota word for wolf spirit is 'shunkahah wanagi'.
Note: The reason why people get confused between calling Indians Native Americans is because Indians are from India. Native Americans are from the United States of America. Christopher Columbus accidentally called the Native Americans he saw Indians, because he thought they looked like they came from India. This website: (See related links) will explain this better than me. Hope this helps!
What is the native American word for shark?
Depending on how you count there are 17 native languages in the Pacific Northwest and one Trade Jargon, Chinook. There actually were and are divisions between those groups that make more languages than that. Many of them are as different from each other as English and Arabic.
In Chinook Jargon, which developed to trade from one tribe to another and then to different European traders as well, the word for shark is: hyas kahmooks pish. The language was spoke by about 100,000 people at it's high point, around 1858. It was a language with a native base and English, French, Hawaiian, Chinese and other loan words. It is still used by some people today. At one time, many residents of Vancouver, BC spoke Chinook Jargon as their first language, even using it at home in preference to English.
The general term for bear in the Comanche language is wasape. A bear trap is wasape pʉmata kwʉhʉrʉ'.
