What does Kevin translate to in Native American from English?
First of all, there are a vast number of Native American Languages and many of them are not even related to one another (even remotely).
Second of all, Kevin is a name of Irish origin so it does not share relatives in Native American languages. For example Joseph is of Biblical origin, so Joseph exists in Arabic (Yusuf), Hebrew (Yosef), Italian (Guiseppe), Spanish (Jose) and so on because the Biblical character was revered by all of those cultures. Kevin has no such relationship with Native American Languages.
Therefore, there is no suitable answer.

How do you say wolf in Indian?
I don't know the answer, or rather any of the answers. But there are bound to be many answers, depending on what you mean by "Indian."
First of all, "Indian" could mean a language, people, and culture from India. Different groups of people in India speak English, Hindi, and many other languages.
My guess is that you are referring to American Indian, or Native American. Again, there are many languages spoken by different tribes--among them Cherokee, Navaho, Arapaho, Comanche, Apache, Ojibwa (or Chippewa). In these various languages, there are likely many different words for "wolf."
What is the translated word of wildflower in the cree language?
For the Cree, all flowers were traditionally wild since they did not have gardens or window-boxes.
There are many Cree words for flower:
- nepihkân
- wâpikwanîs
- wapikwaniy
- askihtakwâpakwaniy (blue flower)
- wâpiskâpakwanîs (white flower)
- pîsâpikwaniy (small flower)
- osâwâpakwanîs (yellow flower)
What did the Crow TRIBE do for entertainment?
Like all native American people, the Crows of Montana had a wide range of games that could be played at all times of year, including in winter snows.
A favourite game of the men was "throwing arrows", where a specially-marked "target" arrow was thrown first (as far away as possible) then each man would try to get his own arrows closest to it. Each man's arrows had his own particular markings, so everyone knew who was the winner - he was entitled to keep all the other arrows and change the markings to his own.
The link below is to a photograph of Crow men playing this game.
Other games (for boys) included throwing stones high in the air so they landed in water with a loud splash - you had to say the words icbirikyu' babirikyu'p as you threw and the last syllable (kyu'p) had to match exactly the sound of the splash.
There was shinny (something like hockey), ball-kicking, tobagganing on a sled made of buffalo ribs covered in rawhide, spinning tops (binna'ce), and the wonderful game called "snow snake".
Snow snake involved teams of children each taking a long stick with a swelling at one end (the snake). Then they would make long, narrow channels in the snow, packing it down to form ice channels. The idea was to slide your snake as far as possible along the channel of ice - each stick would be painted so the owner could recognise it.
Adults played "gambling games" for items of clothing, weapons and so on. These often involved hiding a stone or other object in one of a pair of moccasins and teams took turns to guess which one hid the object - such games were accompanied by drumming and singing and might go on all day.
There were many other games for both children and adults.

How do you say freedom in Cheyenne native American language?
Since historic Cheyenne culture did not include jails, prisons or cells there was no concept of being incarcerated - and consequently no need for a word indicating "freedom", since everyone was free all the time.
There is a verb meaning "to be wild" (nâhahe) and an expression "he or she is wild" (é-nâhahe), meaning someone out of control and not living according to the very strict Cheyenne morals, traditions and ideas of right and wrong.
How do you say dancing fire in native American?
There is no one language called "Native American." There are MANY Native American languages.
What declaration of independent say about native Americans?
The Declaration of Independence does not specifically mention native American tribes. It does mention "Indian Savages" that England used against the Colonies:
"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."
What is the difference between maricopa and pima Indians?
Their languages are very different: Pima is classed as a Uto-Aztecan language, Maricopa is a Yuman language.
The Maricopa are closely related to the Yuma people; historically they lived along the Gila river in close proximity to the Pima. In 1680 there were around 2,000 Maricopa; in 1775 there were perhaps 3,000; by 1905 this had been reduced to just 350.
The Pima may have lived originally along the Salt River, later spreading to the Gila. In 1680 they numbered around 4,000; in 1775 they numbered about 2,500; by 1930 there were 4,382. Today the Pima language is known as O'odham, also spoken by the Papago tribe.

What is the native American translation for the word drum?
