Nahuatl is a Indian language used by several tribes in Mexico, of which Aztec is probably the most well-known. According to a webiste I found, it was originally called "Mexica".

I used to know a little about Nahuatl, but now I can only remember one phrase that is the title of a CD that I brought back from Mexico.  Most Americans who learn Nahuatl learn it for purposes of studying historical documents about the conquest of Mexico, I believe, or for linguistics purposes.  Since I have studied some of each, I learned a bit about it, but never bothered to learn a lot, specifically.  Now that I think about it, though, I remember an exhibit that I saw at the Museo de Antropología in Mexico City where they showed a little film about a Mexican family going through their day and demonstrated how many of the words they used on an everyday basis had come from Nahuatl.  One word that comes to mind from this little film is "popotle".  I also bartered in the Zócalo with a guy who was selling stuff on a blanket for a book that was supposed to teach Nahuatl to Spanish speakers.  I feel like I paid too much for the book (140 pesos or so) but it's fun book to have.

The word Mississippi comes from the Ojibwa name for the river, "Messipi" (or Misi-ziibi in contemporary spelling), which means great river, or from the Algonquin Missi Sepe, "great river," poetically, "father of waters." The Ojibwe called Lake Itasca Omashkoozo-zaaga'igan (Elk Lake) and the river flowing out of it Omashkoozo-ziibi (Elk River). After flowing into Lake Bemidji, the Ojibwe called the river Bemijigamaa-ziibi (River from the Traversing Lake). After flowing into Cass Lake, the name of the river again changed to Miskwaawaakokaa-ziibi (Red Cedar River) and then to Gichi-ziibi (Big River) after flowing into Lake Winnibigoshish. The Ojibwe name Misi-ziibi applied only to the portion below the Crow Wing River, but the ever-changing names of the river seemed illogical to the English speakers, so after the expedition by Henry Schoolcraft, the longest stream above the juncture of the Crow Wing River and Gichi-ziibi was named "Mississippi River".

The Ojibwe language--otherwise anglicized as Chippewa, Ojibwa or Ojibway and known to its own speakers as Anishinabe or Anishinaabemowin--is an Algonquian tongue spoken by 50,000 people in the northern United States and southern Canada. There are five main dialects of Ojibwe: Western Ojibwe, Eastern Ojibwe, Northern Ojibwe (Severn Ojibwe or Oji-Cree), Southern Ojibwe (Minnesota Ojibwe or Chippewa), and Ottawa (Odawa or Odaawa). The Ottawa have always been politically independent from the Ojibwe, but their language is essentially the same--speakers of all five dialects, including Ottawa, can understand each other readily. Many linguists also consider the Algonquin language to be an Ojibwe dialect, but it has diverged more and is difficult for Western Ojibwe speakers to understand. As its name suggests, Oji-Cree has borrowed many elements from Cree and is often written in the Cree syllabary rather than the English alphabet. On the whole Ojibwe is among the heartiest of North American languages, with many children being raised to speak it as a native language.

The answer is B. Aztec\n\nThey are also known as the Mexica.  The empire flourished in various stages of development for nearly 4,000 years before first contact with Europeans.  In 1859, the lands were in vaded by the Spanish.  Hundreds of thousands of Aztecs died of disease, most of smallpox.  Two years later, in 1861, the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan was captured.  Today, the land of Tenochtitlan is what you would know as Mexico City.

"Finally to the Northwest." is not a sentence. Incorporate it into the rest of the prose. And whose or which Northwest are you talking about? And who is "they"?\n\n"Because of the lack of water and fertile soil in the Northwest, natives to the region had to grow plants able to survive the semi-arid conditions. These plants included the vitamin-rich edible nopal cactus and the maguey, or agave, a plant from which a type of Mexican liquor called mezcal could be made."

Boricua is an Amerindian (Native American Indian) people and word from the origin of Boriken (Boriquén) now known as the U.S. Territory called Puerto Rico renamed by the Spanish. The American Indian translation for Boricua is "The Valiant People of the Sacred House". The word is sometimes used to denote a Puerto Rican or a person from Puerto Rico of descent from any racial group or category. Boricua (American Indians) are less than 1% (percent) as recorded in the U.S. 2000 Census in Puerto Rico. Also, Less than 1% (percent) are reported on Native American Indian Tribal Rolls (Puerto Rico). Boricua derived from the Taíno a sub-group of the Arawak People (American Indians). The Arawaks and the Bodequas were different tribes and they had many wars.

Luiseno Indian Tribe History \n\nLuiseño. The southernmost Shoshonean division in California, which received its name from San Luis Rey, the most important Spanish mission in the territory of these people. They form one linguistic group with the Aguas Calientes, Juaneños, and Kawia. They extended along the coast from between San Onofre and Las Animas creeks, far enough south to include Aguas Hedionda, San Marcos, Escondido, and Valley Center. Inland they extended north beyond San Jacinto river, and into Temescal creek; but they were cut off from the San Jacinto divide by the Diegueños, Aguas Calientes, Kawia, and Serranos. The former inhabitants of San Clemente island also are said to have been Luiseños, and the same was possibly the case with those of San Nicolas island. Their population was given in 1856 (Ind. Aff. Rep., 243) as between 2,500 and 2,800; in 1870, as 1,299; in 1885, as 1,142. Most of them were subsequently placed on small reservations included under the Mission Tule River agency, and no separate tribal count has been made. Their villages, past and present, are Ahuanga, Apeche, Bruno's Village, La Joya, Las Flores, Pala, Pauma, Pedro's Village, (?) Potrero, Rincon, Saboba, San Luis Rey (mission), Santa Margarita (?), Temecula, and Wahoma. Taylor (Cal. Farmer, May 11, 1860) gives the following list of villages in the neighborhood of San Luis Rey mission, some of which may be identical with t:hose here recorded: Cenyowpreskel, Ehutewa, Enekelkawa, Hamechuwa, Hatawa, Hepowwoo, Itaywiy, Itukemuk, Milkwanen, Mokaskel, and Mootaevuhew.

1. The Apache Indians lived in the Southwestern United States. \n2. They were known for their fierce resistance to the US government. \n3. During the 1870's, the Apache Indians were defeated by the US army. \n4. Leaders of this group included Geronimo and Cochise. \n5. In 1982, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the Apache's right to tax the production of oil and natural gas on their lands. \n6. They call themselves Inde, or Nide "the people".\n7. The word Apache is believed to be derived from a Zuni word meaning "enemy". \n8. The Apache Indians are divided into six sub-tribes \nBedonkohe, Chieahen, Chihenne Apaches, Chokonen, Nedni, and \nWhite Mountain Apache.\n9. The Apache speak the Athabscan language, \nwhich originated in their former homeland of \nnorthwestern Canada. \n10. The Indian dancers used ankle wraps to accompany their dances. There are bells atatched to a strap of leather. When you move your leg the ankle wrap rattles and jingles. They also placed these on their knees, elbows, or ankels.\n\nBonus:  My ancestors include Apache Indians! :-)  One of my great great grandmothers was an Apache Princess!

There are mixtures of 3 races, for the most part. White (European), Indian (Aztec, Mayan, etc.) and Black (African). Most of the people in Mexico are a mixture of Indian and White. My husband, for example is a mixture of Spanish, Italian, Tlaxcaltecan and possibly Aztec.

The name is often represented as Chichén Itzá in Spanish and other languages to show that both parts of the name are stressed on their final syllables. In the Yucatec Maya language (still in use in the area, and written with the Roman alphabet since the 16th century) this stress follows the normal rules of the language, and so it is written without diacritics. Both forms are attested in literature on the subject, including in scholarly works. Other references prefer to employ a more rigorous orthography, using Chich'en Itza. This form preserves the phonemeic distinction between [ ch' ] and [ ch ], since the base word ch'en meaning "well (of water)" begins with a glottalized affricate ( in IPA notation, [tʃʼ]) and not a voiceless (non-glottalized) one ([tʃ]).\n\nThe Maya name "Chich'en Itza" means "At the mouth of the well of the Itza (people)". Although this was the usual name for the site in pre-Columbian times, it is also referred to in the ancient chronicles as Uucyabnal, meaning "Seven Great Rulers".\n\nIn 1839 United States travel writers Benjamin Norman, followed the next year by John Lloyd Stephens, visited and published accounts of the ruins of Chichen Itza. Various other expeditions made further examinations of the ruins in the following decades. In 1901 the United States Consul to Yucatán, Edward H. Thompson bought Chichen Itza (as the ruins had no protected status then) and moved there with his Maya wife, and spent some 30 years doing amateur archeology there, including dredging the first artifacts out of the Sacred Cenote. In 1924 the Carnegie Institution and Harvard University began a 20 year excavation project directed by Sylvanus G. Morley, which included restoring two sides of the Castillo. In 1961 the Sacred Cenote was dredged more thoroughly by Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH). In the 1980s INAH excavated some additional buildings and restored the other two sides of the Castillo.\n\nChichen Itza is today a World Heritage Site and is a very popular tourist destination; it is the most visited of the major Maya archaelogical sites. Many visitors to the popular tourist resort of Cancún make a day trip to Chichen Itza, usually with time to view only a portion of the site.\n\nRecently, climbing the "castle" is forbidden because an elderly woman had fallen to her death several months ago, and is therefore closed. Another reason for its closure is the restoration of the site, as thousands of visitors would climb it everyday. A third reason which was recently given was that these visitors, (or a majority of them), would sit, and then ride down the narrow stairs, rather than walking them. This made the steps very slippery and eroded some of the stone over time. -A recent visitor supplied this information
