How do you translate American names to Indian names?

It is not usually possible to translate a name into any native American language, since there is no direct correlation. Native naming traditions are completely unlike modern American names, some of which are meaningless modern inventions and others have their roots in European traditional names.For example the Sauk leader known widely as "Black Hawk" was really called Makata imeshekiakiak, meaning Black Sparrowhawk. No American name is anything like this in meaning (sparrowhawks are not black, but for native Americans a spirit animal or bird can be any colour).In some cases native attempts at pronouncing English or French names were influenced by the lack of certain sounds in the native languages: for example, the Mi'kmaq could not say the French name Francois-Joseph properly and instead used Blamswe-Zozep - but this is not a translation, simply a native attempt to say the unfamiliar foreign name.The same applies to many other native American languages.In the Crow language of Montana, when referring to a specific person, native names traditionally end with "sh". So if they are talking about someone today who is named Joe, they say Joesh - again this is not a translation, simply a combination of a modern English name and a native name ending.

What did Native American woman do if their husband died?

Somebody in the tribe would take her in. The American Indian tribes did not have marriage laws as we understand them. look at names like Black Hawk, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse... whatever was outside the tent when the child was born, not very genetically-ordinated. OKay in a sense they had Free Love- which was one reason, quite apart from tribal-white hostilities - that White-Indian marriages were not looked upon with favor- consult the lyrics of ( Half-Breed).
