And with November being Native American Heritage Month, I thought it would be a great chance to explore more about the impact of Native American Indians on the nation of America.&nbsp; Did you know that more than half of all U.S. states are derived from Native American words or were named after Native American tribes?&nbsp; Can you guess any?&nbsp; I gave a clue when talking about the Mayflower landing.&nbsp; If you thought of the state of Massachusetts, you are correct!&nbsp; This state was named after the Algonquin word &#8220;Massadchu-es-et,&#8221; meaning \u201cat the big hill\u201d or \u201ca place of hills.\u201d&nbsp; And I found more incredible history, so let\u2019s discuss the states in alphabetical order.&nbsp; (And please excuse me if I mispronounce any names.)&nbsp; First is Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Alabama<\/strong> is named after the Alabama &#8211; or Alibamu &#8211; tribe. Some say the word \u201cAlabama\u201d means \u201cclearers of the thicket\u201d or \u201cherb gatherers.\u201d&nbsp; Others say it comes from the Creek language meaning \u201ctribal town.\u201d Maybe one of our listeners in Alabama can write in and tell us more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Alaska<\/strong> is named after the Aleut word &#8220;Alyeska&#8221; meaning &#8220;great land.&#8221;<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Arizona<\/strong>, my home state, is named after the O&#8217;odham word &#8220;al\u012d \u1e63onak&#8221; meaning &#8220;small spring.&#8221;&nbsp; Speaking from experience, Arizona is very vast, hot, and dry, with temperatures reaching 120 degrees Fahrenheit or more in the summer.&nbsp; If you live in Arizona, you have to be very good at finding water and I\u2019m sure the Native Americans in this area are experts at finding the small springs!<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connecticut<\/strong> comes from the Mohican word &#8220;quonehtacut&#8221; meaning &#8220;beside the long tidal river.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>5. <strong>Hawaii<\/strong> in the Hawaiian language means &#8220;homeland.&#8221; &nbsp; This is a very beautiful island with lush green jungles, sandy beaches, palm trees, waterfalls, and amazing sunsets.&nbsp; I am sure the natives are incredibly happy to live there and call it their homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6.&nbsp; <strong>Idaho<\/strong> is a little tricky.&nbsp; It can come from several origins, including the Salmon River tribe and their words \u201cIda\u201d meaning salmon, and \u201cho\u201d meaning tribe &#8211; so, the land of \u201cSalmon eaters.\u201d&nbsp; Or it could come from the Comanche word \u201cIdahi,\u201d although I couldn\u2019t a meaning for that word.&nbsp; A third source states that the name \u201cIdaho\u201d is a made-up name!&nbsp; Records indicate that a mining executive named George Willing spoke to Congress about land around a specific mountain peak and made up the name \u201cIdaho,\u201d saying it was a Shoshone phrase \u201cE Dah Hoe (How),\u201d meaning \u201cgem of the mountains.\u201d&nbsp; Eventually, his lie was discovered but by that time, the name was in common usage and was never changed.&nbsp; I\u2019d love to hear more from a listener in Idaho!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. <strong>Illinois<\/strong> is derived from the Illini\u2019s word &#8220;illiniwek&#8221; meaning &#8220;best people.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. <strong>Iowa<\/strong> is named after the Iowas &#8211; or Ioways &#8211; a Sioux tribe.&nbsp; It comes from their word \u201cah-hee-oo-ba\u201d meaning \u201csleepy ones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9. <strong>Kansas<\/strong> is named after the Kaws &#8211; or Kansa &#8211; Indians, who are another Sioux tribe, with the word meaning &#8220;south wind people.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10. <strong>Kentucky<\/strong> is a bit more difficult to determine.&nbsp; It may be named after the Iroquois word &#8220;Ken-tah-ten&#8221; meaning &#8220;land of tomorrow.&#8221; It may have other meanings, too, such as \u201ccane and turkey lands\u201d or \u201cdark and bloody ground.\u201d If you live in, or come from, Kentucky, we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11. <strong>Michigan<\/strong> comes from the Chippewa word &#8220;Meicigama&#8221; meaning &#8220;great water.\u201d&nbsp; Michigan is home to over 64,000 lakes and waterways, including Lake Superior, so it sure does have a lot of great water!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12. <strong>Minnesota<\/strong> comes from the Dakota Indian word \u201cMinisota\u201d meaning \u201ccloudy water\u201d or \u201csky-tinted water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>13. <strong>Mississippi<\/strong> is derived from the Ojibwe or Algonquin word \u201cmisi-ziibi\u201d and means \u201cgreat river.\u201d&nbsp; It is named after the great Mississippi River that runs through the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>14. <strong>Missouri<\/strong> comes from a Missouri Sioux word meaning &#8220;town of the large canoes,\u201d \u201cwooden canoe people,\u201d \u201che of the big canoe,\u201d or \u201criver of the big canoes.&#8221; I think we can safely say that most people in Missouri back then traveled by canoe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>15. Nebraska comes from the Oto Indians and their word \u201cNebrathka\u201d meaning \u201cflat water.\u201d<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>16. <strong>New Mexico<\/strong> is said to mean \u201cplace of Mexitli,\u201d an Aztec god.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>17. <strong>Ohio<\/strong> is derived<strong> <\/strong>from an Iroquois word meaning \u201cgood river.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>18. <strong>Oklahoma<\/strong> comes from the Choctaw words \u201cokla humma\u201d and means \u201cred people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>19\/20. <strong>South and North Dakota<\/strong> comes from the Sioux word \u201cDahkota\u201d meaning \u201cfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>21.<strong> Tennessee<\/strong> comes from<strong> <\/strong>Creek and Cherokee origins.&nbsp; The word \u201cTanasqui\u201d is said to mean&nbsp;\u201cmeeting place,\u201d \u201cwinding river,\u201d or \u201criver of the great bend\u201d and was also the name of a Cherokee village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>22. <strong>Texas<\/strong> derives from the<strong> <\/strong>Caddo Indian word \u201cteyshas,\u201d meaning \u201cfriends\u201d or \u201callies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>23. <strong>Utah<\/strong> comes from the<strong> <\/strong>Apache language and their word \u201cyuttahih\u201d meaning \u201cpeople of the mountains.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>24. <strong>Wisconsin<\/strong> is another bit of tricky history.&nbsp; One source states that the name comes from an Indian word \u201cWishkonsing\u201d meaning \u201cplace of the beaver.\u201d Another source states it comes from Indian words meaning \u201criver running through a red place,\u201d referring to the Wisconsin river running through the red bluffs of the Wisconsin Dells. Maybe someone from Wisconsin can write in and tell us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>25. <strong>Wyoming<\/strong> comes from the Delaware Indians and the shortening of their word \u201cmecheweamiing\u201d meaning<strong> <\/strong>\u201cat the big plains.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We owe a large debt of gratitude to the Native American Indian tribes who settled America long before immigrants arrived from other countries.&nbsp; They honored the land and took great care of it, only taking what they needed and giving something in return to keep the universe in harmony and balance.&nbsp; They had great wisdom and were in tune with the land, waters, mountains, and stars.&nbsp; They listened to, and watched, their environment and mastered how to survive on the land.&nbsp; They knew the best seasons for hunting, planting, gathering, migration, hibernation, celebrations, and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think we can learn a lot from these amazing Indian tribes and their timeless wisdom, including some of their proverbs, such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Each of us is put here in this time and this place to personally decide the future of mankind.&nbsp; Did you think the Creator would create unnecessary people?&nbsp; Know that you yourself are essential to this world. (Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 1954, Lakota, Dakota, Nakota Nation)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.&nbsp; (Chief Joseph)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Treat the Earth well.&nbsp; It was not given to you by your parents.&nbsp; It was loaned to you by your children.&nbsp; We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. (Ponca Chief White Eagle)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It does not require many words to speak the truth.&nbsp; (Chief Joseph Nez Perce)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Man has responsibility, not power.&nbsp; (Tuscarora proverb)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What you do not know, you will fear.&nbsp; What you fear, you will destroy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nothing in nature lives for itself.&nbsp; Rivers don\u2019t drink their own water.&nbsp; Trees don\u2019t eat their own fruit. The sun doesn\u2019t shine for itself.&nbsp; Flowers don\u2019t spread fragrance for themselves.&nbsp; Living for others is the rule of nature.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Take only what you need and leave the land as you found it.&nbsp; (Arapaho)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Regard Heaven as your father, Earth as your mother, and all that lives as your brothers and sisters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Listen to the wind \u2013 it talks.&nbsp; Listen to the silence \u2013 it speaks.&nbsp; Listen to your heart \u2013 it knows.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>May the footprints we leave behind show that we walked in kindness toward the Earth and every living thing.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Give me knowledge so I may have kindness for all.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Listen or your tongue will keep you deaf.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what do you think about all this amazing Native American Indian history?&nbsp; Do you live in a town, city, or state with an Indian name?&nbsp; Or is there a park, river, or mountain in your community with an Indian name?&nbsp; My friend grew up in the state of Vermont, which means \u201cVert Mont\u201d or \u201cGreen Mountain\u201d in French, but her town also has a river running through it called the Ottaquechee (AWT-ah-KWEE-chee), meaning \u201cswift mountain stream.\u201d&nbsp; As we have learned from history, early European explorers sometimes changed the names of places they discovered or explored.&nbsp; So, even if your state\u2019s name does not come from Native American origins, maybe it has a town, river, or mountain with an Indian name.&nbsp; Why not hunt for these names or ask your parents to help you look on a map for these names?&nbsp; I would love to hear from you and learn more about your discoveries regarding Native American influences where you live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where I live in the state of Arizona, there are many amazing Indian tribes including the Apache, Navajo, Hopi, Paiute, Hualapai, Yavapai, and more.&nbsp;
