Native American Indian Encyclopedia of Terms

This is an index of all the Native American proper names and cultural terms used on our website. Clicking on a term will bring up its definition and links to any related information we have available on our website. This list includes tribal names, spelling variants, names from mythology, band and clan names, place names, and Native American cultural terms. It does NOT include vocabulary words from Native American languages-- we have more than 100,000 vocabulary words on our website at this time, which is far too many to list on a single page! If you want to search our website for a specific vocabulary word, please use the Google box above.

We appreciate your patience as we work to complete this section. Even without including general vocabulary words, there are a lot of Native words and terms on our website to be added. Wado, miigwech, pilamaya ye, and thanks to all!
