The Arapaho (in French: ''Arapahos, Gens de Vache'') are a tribe of Native Americans historically living on the plains of Colorado and Wyoming. They were close allies of the Cheyenne tribe and loosely aligned with the Lakota and Dakota. The Arapaho language, ''Heenetiit'', is an Algonquian language closely related to Gros Ventre (Ahe/A'ananin), whose people are seen as an early offshoot of the Arapaho. Blackfeet and Cheyenne are the other Algonquian-speakers on the Plains, but their languages are quite different from Arapaho. By the 1850s, Arapaho bands formed two tribes: the Northern Arapaho and Southern Arapaho. Since 1878, the Northern Arapaho have lived with the Eastern Shoshone on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming and are federally recognized as the Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind River Reservation. The Southern Arapaho live with the Southern Cheyenne in Oklahoma. Together, their members are enrolled as the federally recognized Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes. ==Name== The Arapaho autonym is ''Hinono'eino'' or ''Inun-ina'' (“our people” or “people of our own kind”), when referring to the tribe they use ''Hinono'eiteen'' (Arapaho Nation). They were also known as ''Hitanwo'iv'' or ''Hetanevoeo/Hetanevo'eo'o'' (“People of the Sky” or “Cloud People”) by their Cheyenne allies or ''Mahpíyato'' (“Blue Cloud Men”) by Dakota, ''Maȟpíya tho''́ (“Blue Sky People”) by Lakota and Assiniboine. The Caddo (''Toniibeenenno or ''Toniibeeneseino' '' - “pierced nose People”) called them ''Detseka'yaa'', the Wichita (''Hinosouno' '')〔(English-Arapaho dictionary )〕 ''Nia'rhari's-kûrikiwa'ahûski'', and the Comanche ''Saria Tʉhka / Säretika (Sata Teichas)'', all names signifying “dog-eaters”. To Pawnee, Ute and other tribes they were also known as “dog-eaters”. The Northern Arapaho who called themselves ''Nank'haanseine'nan'' or ''Nookhose'iinenno'' ("white sage men") were known as ''Baantcline'nan'' or ''Bo'oociinenno' '' ("red willow men") to the Southern Arapaho, whereas the latter were called by their northern kin ''Nawathi'neha'' or ''Noowunenno' '' ("Southerners"). The Northern Arapaho were also known as ''BSakuune'na' (Bee'eekuunnenno') '' ("blood-soup men").〔Fred Eggan, Loretta Fowler: ''Arapahoe Politics, 1851-1978:'' Symbols in Crises of Authority, ISBN 978-0803268623〕 The Cheyenne adapted the Arapaho terms and referred to the Northern Arapaho as ''Vanohetan'' or ''Vanohetaneo/ Váno'étaneo'o'' (“Sage (Brush) People”) and to the Southern Arapaho as ''Nomsen'nat'' or ''Nomsen'eo'' (“Southerners”).〔(English-Cheyenne dictionary, page 582 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arapaho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
