Shawnee

/ʃɔːˈniː/ noun

Definition

A member of an Algonquian-speaking Native American people originally from the Ohio Valley region. The language spoken by this people.

Etymology

From the Shawnee word 'Shaawanwa' meaning 'southerner', referring to their geographic position relative to other Algonquian tribes. The name was adapted into English through French colonial records.

Kelly Says

The Shawnee were remarkable for their mobility and adaptability - they migrated across vast distances from the Southeast to the Great Lakes and back, maintaining their cultural identity while becoming master diplomats who played European powers against each other during colonial times.
