All members of the Blackfoot tribe must also speak English, as they live in the United States. But the Blackfoot tribe also has its own language: the Blackfoot language. Probably your question is: How do you say hello in the Blackfoot language? Hello in Blackfoot is: Oki.

Each tribe spoke its own language and had its own very different expressions of greeting.

Among the Crows of Montana the usual greeting was kaheé(ka-hay, meaning welcome) - or kaheésho-dachi. But a mark of particular honour was being greeted with di awa'kam mi: ite'ky (I see you, I am feeling better).

A Blackfoot might welcome you with oki (hello) or oki, aahsaapinakos (hello, good morning).

A Cheyenne might say pave-voona'o (good morning) or pave-esheeva (good day).

The usual greeting in Powhatan was chamah or netab.

In Ojibwe and related languages, the word for hello is aaniin or boozhoo.

In Natick, the language of the Wampanoag and their neighbours, the term was koonepeam (you are welcome).

This question depends on what tribe, and which language you are using. This also depends on the relationship between you and the person saying it. What would work for one situation would not for another. For instance the Cherokee have 23 different dialects and at least 10 ways to say "Bye" in only one of those; so 230 total ways to say it (and that is just one tribe). Other tribes have one word for hello and good bye, Hawaiians for example. Modern(ly) we just say "Bye" or "See ya" etc.

It depends on which tribe you are talking to.

Most Anishinabeweg say "Boozoo" as hello, and "Aniin" as hi.
