Pawnee kinship terms (and those of all Caddoan tribes) are far more complex and specific than in modern English. The general terms for my grandmother and grandfather is atika and atipat respectively.

What was the Wichita Indian language?

The Wichita (and the Wichita subtribes or bands: Waco, Tawakoni, Taovaya, Tawehash, Yscani and Kichai) all spoke the Wichita language which belongs to the Caddoan group, distantly related to Pawnee and Arikara. The Wichita call themselves Kitikitish, meaning "eyelids tattooed to look like raccoons". The Wichita language is today practically extinct. A few words in the Wichita language are: Black......................kaar'iis White.....................khac Sun........................saakhir'a Dog........................kiciyeeh Buffalo...................néérhir'a Bear.......................wira'a Skunk....................niwiic' Hair........................tiyaac'a Eye.........................kirik'a Mouth.....................haaka'a


What does hau mean in the native American Indian language?

"The native American Indian language" implies that there is only one, when in fact there are more than 2,000 native languages in the Americas, most of which do not include that word.In Lakota (the language of the Teton Sioux), the word haucan signify a greeting or hello used only by men (hau kola, hello my friend); it can mean a formal "yes" (hau, mnin kte, yes I will go there); or it can mean "no" in response to a negative question: Hi shni he? - Did he not come?
