Native Cultures
There
Are Many U.S. States With Native American Names
Another
interesting fact that most grade school curriculums have is the origin of the
state names throughout the United States. Quite a few of those state names have
Native American roots or definitions. For instance, "Alaska" comes
from the Aleut word "Alakshak" that means "peninsula."
