What are some of your favorite Native American names?

Replies

Thank you for askingA couple of my personal favorites are Sequoyah, Nonhelema, Kawacatoose, Wawatam, Thayendanegea, and Pitikwahanapiwiyin. I've also taken a bit of a recent interest in Native Hawaiian(Yes, I understand they are Native American too, but I put them and the Inuit in a different catagory than the lower 48 on account of their uniqueness) and Native Australian names, or at least the few that are listed here. Common Native American surnames I also find interesting, and living in a state with a high Native population has luckily exposed me to several very interesting Native surnames. Sorry, I just realized how long this is, but I hope this could answer your question. Again, thanks for asking.
