Native American city names

[ArbitraryGuy]

Hmm... I'm trying to figure out how best to name the "city" encampments of Native American civilizations... did they really have historical names or can I just use a list of "Native-American-like" names (like from the Iraquois or Souix in Civ2)? Where can one find such a list... I remember seeing a list of alternative civ/city names somewhere, but where is it? Thanks for your help.

Well since I'm Cherokee and I live in Cherokee Nation (sovereign Cherokee land in Northeastern Oklahoma) I composed a Cherokee City list which dates back to cities discovered in 1450 by the Spanish in the Southeastern US. Here it is.

Cherokee city list (by Mobilize)
(Tsalagi spellings in parenthesis)
Tugaloo (Tugalu)
Keetoowah (Kituwa)
Ustanali
Kiowe
Oconee (Osoni)

Kulsetsiyi
Estatoee (Etlatoi)

Ellijay (Elidli)
Cowee (Cowih)
Ocanaluftee (Ocanalufti)
Itseyi
Watauga
Tawsee (Tahsih)
Dustavalunyi
Tallulah (Taliwa)
Chatuga

Gusti
Chilhowee (Tsiyowi)
Guhlaniyi
Naguchee (Nagutsi)

Chattanooga (Tsatanuga)
Saguahi
Coweeshee (Cowisi)

I recomend using the names in parenthesis because they are in the Cherokee language 'Tsalagi'

Not tribes, but names for their cities

There was a file out there with LOTS of alternitive civs and their city names... I bet that would be helpful, anyone know where it is?

Setauket
Manhasset
Shinnecock
Montauket
Commack
Seneca
Cuyoga
Saratoga
Cutchogue
Mattituck
Patchogue

...most of them are Long Island towns, a region very rich in Indian heritage.

Thanks for your help everyone. I'm still looking for city names for the following tribes, this will be for the Manifest Destiny Scenario (1835-1860):
-Maimi
-Seminole
-Nez Perce
-Cheyenne
-Apache
-Inuit
(Sioux and Cherokee are now taken care of... I'm limiting the number of Native American Tribes to eight in the scenario for playablity issues)

Heres an Inuit. I did'nt make it though. I think there may be a Cheyenne too somewhere.
