I am guessing you mean the English word "I" or "me".
In Blackfoot the first person personal pronoun is expressed in several ways, including nistoa as a separate word. It can also be ni-, n- or nits- as a verb or noun prefix. Most Algonquian languages use various forms of ni-for "I", ki- for "you" and o- for "he".
Examples:
Nitawni = I say
Nitsomani = I am speaking the truth
Notas = my horse
Nina = my father
The Blackfoot word is minikxiw
In the Blackfoot language the word for daughter is:itan
In Blackfoot you have to express the idea with a verb, such as kitsiikákomimmo (I love you) or akomimmiyuk (love each other), or akomimmis k'inna (love your father) or nit'akomimmo (I love him).
I am assuming you mean the Blackfoot peoples of Alberta, Montana and Saskatchewan, not the Blackfoot Sioux who are an unrelated and distinct tribe with a different language. Even some Native Americans do not realise that there is a difference. The Blackfoot word for the number two is natoka, pronounced nahtohka.
The Stockbridge tribe was originally the Housatonic branch of the Mahicans, so the language they spoke is Mahican. Blackfoot is also an Algonquian language, but only very distantly related.In Mahican the word for grandfather is òmuxomunIn Blackfoot the word for grandfather is na-ahks'(literally "my grandfather")I guess that by "Fr. Canadian" you mean French Canadian, which is not a native language; "grandfather" in that language is grandpère.

Modern English names can not be translated into any native American language. If you were to meet a modern Canadian Blackfoot and told him your name is Melena, that is what he would call you - it would not be possible for him to "translate" that name into any Blackfoot word.

The Blackfoot language has mainly short vowels, but some long vowels are indicated by doubling; in this case you say ih-mih-taah. The same word has also been recorded as omitaa and imitaawa; all mean "dog".
