Ha'anahawunena (Hananaxawuune'nan)

"Ha'anahawunena" is the name of one of the important historical divisions of the Arapaho tribe, and also the name of the Arapahoan language they once spoke. The Ha'anahawunena language was never well recorded, and it's not clear whether it was an Arapaho dialect or a closely related language. Most Ha'anahawunena descendants today live among the Northern Arapaho in Wyoming.
