Looking for English words which are influenced by Native American Languages?

Hi guys,

I am looking for literature or good sources for my seminar paper. I need to know in what way Native American languages have influence to the modern English.

I just need words from Lakota/Dakota and Navajo! So yeah I'm looking for any English words which are influenced by those mentioned Native American Languages! A list would be great.

I appreciate your help!

    It doesn't look like any kind of list for Navajo. Wiki says this: "Only one Navajo word has been fully absorbed into the English language: hogan (from Navajo hooghan) – a term referring to the traditional houses.[88] Others with limited English recognition include chindi (an evil spirit of the deceased),[89] and Kayenta (a place name, from tééʼndééh, "game pit where wild animals fall into deep water").[90] The taxonomic genus name Uta may be of Navajo origin.[91] It has been speculated that English-speaking settlers were reluctant to take on more Navajo loanwords compared to many other Native American languages, including the Hopi language, because the Navajo were among the most violent resisters to colonialism.[92]" ... That said, I found that in Wiki by typing 'Navajo words into English'. You may want to do the rest of your research by substituting 'Lakota/Dakota' for 'Navajo' in the above search term.
