November is Native American Heritage Month

We have President George H. W. Bush to thank for the official recognition of the achievements and contributions of the Native Americans to the building of this great nation, the United States of America.  He approved the joint resolution to designate November as National American Indian Heritage Month.  

To show respect and honor to my fellow Americans and to celebrate Native American Heritage and to acknowledge that even though they were not initially recognized as US citizens and afforded their rights, many chose to serve this nation, I have compiled a list of my public tweets.  The tweets contain information and links that point to Native Americans, their history and their contributions.

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
