Reply to comment by HereTakeThisBooger in TIL that when the French first arrived in North America they met the Ojibwe Indians who introduced them to other tribes but used nasty names. The Lakota/Dakota people were called "Nadowessiwag," which became Nadouessioux in French, then Sioux in English. It means "little snake." by marmorset

Whoa! My elementary school curriculum definitely referenced the Anasazi. I was always confused why subsequently all references used “Pueblo” as the name.
