'Cherokee' is Creek for 'Brother of another tongue' written in Cherokee as tsa-la-gi. Traditionally we Cherokee called ourselves the Aniyunwiya literally translated as 'the Principle People' but meaning 'God's People'.
The name Cree, comes from "Kristineaux", or "Kri" for short; a name given to Native Americans from the James Bay area by French fur traders.
