Native American Tribes with Names that Begin with Letter W

November is Native American Heritage in the USA.  There were or are hundreds of tribes all across America.  But US history textbooks don't mention many of the names.  My search led me to a List that provides the names of Native American tribes from A to Z.  The list is amazing.  As an example, there are 16 tribes with names that start with the letter “W”.

Wabanaki ;  Waccamaw ; Waco ; Wailaki ; Walapai ; Walla Walla ; Wampanoag ; Wappinger ; Washoe ; Watlala ; Wea ; Wenatchee ; Wichita; Winnebago ; Wiyot ; Wyandot/Huron

#OTD #RIP 1875 Failed peace maker Kicking Bird. He was, also known as "Black Eagle". His grandfather was a #Crow who had been incorporated in the #Kiowa tribe. Kicking Bird's avocation was peace with the Whites since he saw the hopelessness warfare would bring. #NativeAmerican pic.twitter.com/BHAiQ7VaID

February 1 1834. #Cherokees begin arriving at the Cherokee Agency in eastern Tennessee to be moved to #Indian Territory after Georgia begins seizing their property. The land will be given to white settlers under a lottery. Many Cherokee are forced out at gunpoint #NativeAmerican pic.twitter.com/90lelREqeT
