Start in Mexico and follow your way down the line until you reach panama!..these DNA company’s lump in all those Spanish speaking countries as a generalization to indigenous people to the continent of North America.in the vast majority of cases It does not mean the n8tive American tribes of the United States.
You know most those are fake or inaccurate I’m not sure but i see ppl come to the group I’m in and get slaughtered when they state that a DNA test is thier proff. But any who it’s pretty much on a tribe by tribe kinda grouping so it’s gonna be tough but i think the Cherokee Facebook group will search dang near everyone for you they’ll help you find what tribe
Hello. I have what may be an ignorant question, but I’d like to know the answer. On the television series “Grizzly Adams” Nacoma (Don Shanks) would greet Adams using a word which sounded something like ‘shotazhi’. I don’t know to what tribe Nacoma was supposed to have been a member and I’ve always wondered what that word means. I assumed it was ‘hello’. I named my cat that word and never knew how to spell it, but I love the word. Is it made up? Thank you in advance for any response.
Miyaxwen is also a way to say Hello in Desert Cahuilla
(the x is silent)
How!
Thank you my great new and even friendly natives. I love you guys so much, vote for me–twice if you can!
No hard feelings, right? After all, it was just a little white lie–one of those would never hurt anyone!

funny how u can’t use the word lie without making it white. Lol
My mother and grand mother, her cousins,my aunts and uncles used to say buzhu to say hello in the ottawa language, here in the last twenty years or so, I learned another way, they say aanii.
