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 November is #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth. There were/are many tribes across the USA but #Americanhistory rarely mentions them. #DidYouKnow there are 16 tribes w/ names that begin w/ #LetterW ~ "List of Native American Tribes From A to Z". https://t.co/qkrfGX7kx9 @legendsamerica pic.twitter.com/hfVuCIXAfa— Treathyl Fox (aka cmoneyspinner) ~ #Freelancer (@cmoneyspinner) November 4, 2019
#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— Native Americans In History (@HistoryNative) May 5, 2020
