Answer 1

yá'át'ééh shinaaí - hello my older brother(Navajo)

<><><><>

Above is correct for Navajo- but there is no ONE Native American language. Cherokee, Seminole, Navajo, Apache, Sioux- and others- are all different. And in Cherokee (properly called ᏣᎳᎩ or Tsalagi) brother is da-ni-ta-ga.

Answer 2

The Algonquin group of languages, spoken by those from Ohio across to Maine and down into Pennsylvania and New Jersey had distilled it to one word during the early years of European occupation and colonization. That word was 'Niiji' (or 'Niij') from the Ojibwe 'niijikiwenh' - "my brother, my cousin (male) or my fellow man"'. It was later assigned to "friend" by Europeans. We call it the 'nice' "n-word" - LoL! PICTURE: I am Cherokee (Mom) and Mattaponi (Powhatan/na-Pamunkey line [Dad]) - at one time ALL of my people looked like me, as did this woman, who looks so much like my mother it is scary. Yet her progeny living in the Midwest, who no longer overwhelmingly inhabit N & S Carolina and Georgia, have more in common with Irish and German colonists than Cherokees. We refused to go on the "Trail of Tears" and were enslaved as punishment. We are called the Eastern Band Cherokee today and most of us are full bloods. In addition, many African/Aboriginal people whose ancestors were the slaves of Cherokee families are finally being recognized and allowed tribal citizenship in both bands.

There were hundreds of languages and dialects spoken by Native Americans so there are many, many ways to translate the phrase.
