Re: Does anyone know a reliable source for Native American names?
Honestly, I think BtN is going to be your most reliable source, seeing as this site is very well researched, and a lot of Internet sites cannot be trusted. One solution is that a lot of Native Americans names (at least that I've heard of), wen translated into common English are simple, like Standing Bear, or Blue Elk. With a bit of research, you can look into the specific tribal languages and translate them yourself. This may work, depending on what you'll be using this information for.
