11 Every Day Words with Indigenous Roots
11 everyday words with indigenous roots
Published on November 15, 2025

English is a very welcoming language in the sense that it incorporates terms from many other languages from all over the world. And, as it couldn’t be otherwise, Native American languages have lent many of their words and terms to English speakers. Some traveled through Spanish or French before settling into English, and others arrived directly through early contact and trade, helping shape the way we speak today. Did you know about these 11 terms?
1 – CANOE
Image: Michael Niessl
The word “canoe” comes from the Taino term canoa, which was first used by Caribbean islanders long before Europeans arrived. Early explorers adopted it to describe the slim, sturdy boats they saw.
Over time, “canoe” became the standard English word for a small paddled craft. Today it still carries that sense of simplicity and closeness to nature.
- CANOE-The word “canoe” comes from the Taino term canoa, which was first used by Caribbean islanders long before Europeans arrived. Early explorers adopted it to describe the slim, sturdy boats they saw.
- BARBECUE – comes from barbacoa, another Taino term for a wooden frame used for cooking meat over fire.
- SKUNK – “Skunk” comes from the Algonquian word squnk, which means “urinating fox” (quite a fitting term, indeed).
- MOOSE – Eastern Abenaki, a part of the Algonquian family, where it meant “he strips off bark;
- RACOON – “Raccoon” comes from the Powhatan word arakun, meaning “he scratches with his hands.” (front paws);

- CARIBOO – comes from the Mi’kmaq term qalipu, which means “snow shoveler,”
- TOTEM – “Totem” comes from the Ojibwe word ototeman, which means “kinship group.” It described symbols representing clans and shared roots.
- COYOTE – “Coyote” comes from the Nahuatl word coyōtl, which was used by Indigenous tribes of central Mexico. Spanish speakers adopted it, and English borrowed later.
- AVOCADO – traces to the Nahuatl word ahacatl, which refers to the fruit and to a body part as well.
- CHOCOLATE – The last Nahuatl word and also the last word on the list comes from the term xocolātl, which describes a bitter cacao drink that was consumed long before Europeans arrived in America. The name traveled from Spanish to English.

Prophet Muhammad(saw) Appearance
Ka’ab ibn Malik (R.A) said, “When I greeted the Messenger of Allah, whose face was glittering with happiness, for whenever Allah’s Messenger ﷺ was happy, his face used to glitter, as if it was a piece of the moon, and we used to recognize it (i.e. his happiness) from his face.” Once Al-Baraa (R.A) was asked whether the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ face was like the sword to which he replied: No, it was like the moon.
On the authority of Umm Ma‘bad ‘Atikah bint Khalid al-Khuza‘iyyah (ra) who said: ’I saw a man of visible radiance and purity, beautiful appearance, bright faced, with neither protruding ribs nor a small head, handsome and fair. His eyes were deep black and large, and his eyelashes were lush. His voice was mellow and soft. The whiteness of his eyes was bright and his pupils were very black. His eyebrows were beautifully arched and connected. His neck was long, his beard densely full. When he was silent, he appeared dignified. When he spoke, he was eminent and crowned with magnificence. His speech was sweet, his words precise, neither too little nor too much. Like a string of pearls flowing down gradually.

Canada versus United Kingdom Vs. Australia – brief Comparison
Canada is about 41 times larger than the United Kingdom. Canada has a total area of approximately 9,984,670 square kilometers, while the United Kingdom spans about 243,610 square kilometers. Australia is smaller than Canada, but much bigger than Great Britain. Canada is about 1.3 times larger than Australia, while Australia is about 32 times larger than the United Kingdom. [1, 2, 3]
AREA AND SCALE
- Canada total area: 9,984,670 sq km (second-largest country in the world).
- United Kingdom total area: 243,610 sq km (roughly the size of the Canadian province of Ontario, which is 4.4 times smaller than all of Canada).
- Proportional difference: The UK makes up only about 2.4% of Canada’s total landmass. [1, 2, 3]
POPULATION & DENSITY
Canada population: Roughly 38.2 to 41 million people.
United Kingdom population: Roughly 67.8 million people.
Density contrast: Canada has about 3.85 people per square kilometer, compared to the UK’s much higher density of roughly 280 people per square kilometer. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Canada: Spans about 9.98 million square kilometers (second-largest globally) with cold, harsh winters and varied temperate-to-humid summers. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Australia: Covers roughly 7.69 million square kilometers (sixth-largest globally) with a vast arid interior and warm, sunny coastal climates. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Great Britain: A much smaller island nation of about 242,000 square kilometers featuring a temperate maritime climate with frequent overcast and rainy conditions. [1]
DEMOGRAPHICS &CULTURE:
Canada: Population of roughly 39 million; culturally blends British, French (especially in Québec), and strong North American influences. [1, 2, 3]
Australia: Population of about 26 million; characterized by a laid-back, outdoor-focused lifestyle with a heavy emphasis on sports and high multicultural integration.
Great Britain: Population of roughly 67 million; dense, historic, and culturally traditional yet deeply diverse, marked by rich arts, theater, and proximity to continental Europe.
ECONOMY &QUALITY OF LIFE:
Canada: Strong universal social safety net and abundant natural resources, though currently grappling with high housing costs in major metropolitan hubs.
Australia: High GDP per capita and high ranking in global happiness reports, benefiting from strong wage growth and wealth equality alongside high urban living expenses.
Great Britain: Mature, service-oriented economy centered around London, facing tighter labor markets and high population density challenges relative to its land size.
Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia share a common cultural heritage, yet their religious landscapes reveal distinct trends driven by secularization and immigration. The key comparative metrics from recent national censuses show that Christianity remains the largest affiliation in all three nations, though it has fallen below absolute majorities in the UK and Australia, with “no religion” surging rapidly. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
RELIGIOUS DEMOGRAPHICS (National Census Data)
- Canada (2021 Census): Christian at 53.3% (down from historical majorities), No Religion at 34.6%, Islam at 4.9%, Hinduism at 2.3%, and Sikhism at 2.1%.
- United Kingdom (2021/2022 Censuses): Christian at 46.5%, No Religion at 37.8%, Islam at 6.0%, Hinduism at 1.6%, and Sikhism at 0.8%.
- Australia (2021 Census): Christian at 43.9%, No Religion at 38.9%, Islam at 3.2%, Hinduism at 2.7%, and Buddhism at 2.4%. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/rt-td/ethno-religion-eng.cfm

The Nature of Allah
In Islam, the nature of Allah is defined by Tawhid (the absolute oneness and unity of God), meaning He is unique, eternal, and has no partners or equals. He is both transcendent (beyond human comprehension and physical limitations) and immanent (close to His creation), possessing 99 beautiful names that describe His mercy, power, and justice.
ONENESS & UNIQUENESS
- Tawhid: The core belief that Allah is one single, indivisible entity.
- No Equals: Surah 112 in the Quran states He neither begets nor is born, and nothing compares to Him.
- No Partners: Associating any partner with Allah is called Shirk, which is considered the greatest sin in Islam.
CORE ATTRIBUTES
- Omnipotent: Allah is all-powerful and in complete control of the universe.
- Immanent: He is close to humanity, described in the Quran as closer to a person than their jugular vein.
- Beneficent and Merciful: He is the source of all love, compassion, and forgiveness, reflected in His names Al-Rahman and Al-Rahim.
- Just and Fair: Allah acts with absolute justice and treats all people equitably
ALLAH AZZA WA JAL DOES NOT CRY
Yes, Allah does not cry, and stating this aligns with the core Islamic concept of Tawhid (the absolute oneness and uniqueness of God). In Islamic belief, God is completely free from any human weaknesses, physical limitations, or emotions like sorrow and crying.
UNDERSTANDING TAWHID & ALLAH’S NATURE
No Human Traits: Allah is the Creator, meaning He does not share the physical or emotional traits of His creation. Crying is a sign of human need, sadness, pain, or weakness—all of which are impossible for God.
Transcendence (Al-Mukhalafatu lil-hawadith): Islam teaches that “there is nothing like unto Him” (Surah Al-Shura 42:11). Attributing human emotions like tears to Allah goes against His perfection and majesty.
The Role of Crying in Islam: While humans cry out of fear, love, or sadness toward Allah, Allah Himself is the One who comforts, hears every silent tear, and remains entirely unaffected by human distress.

ABOUT THE NAMES & THE PURPOSE OF STUDYING THE NAMES
Allah has more Names than ninety-nine. The authentic hadith establishes a special reward for whoever encompasses these ninety-nine, but it does not limit the Names of Allah to that number. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught a supplication recorded in Musnad Ahmad in which he asks Allah by every Name He has named Himself with, revealed in His Book, taught to any of His creation, or kept in the knowledge of the unseen. This indicates that Allah possesses Names beyond those known to mankind.
The specific enumerated list attached to some narrations of the ninety-nine Names in Sunan al-Tirmidhi and Sunan Ibn Majah is regarded by many hadith scholars as an addition from later transmitters rather than the direct words of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. For this reason, scholars have differed regarding the exact enumeration of the ninety-nine Names. The Names presented on this page are derived directly from the Quran and authentic Sunnah, following a methodology informed by scholars such as Ibn al-Qayyim, Al-Ghazali, Ibn Hazm, Al-Qurtubi, and Abd al-Razzaq al-Badr.
As Ibn al-Qayyim explained, encompassing the Names of Allah means more than simply memorizing them. It includes three things: memorizing them, understanding what they reveal about Allah, and worshipping and calling upon Allah through them. Memorization alone fulfills only part of what the hadith intends. The ultimate purpose is for these Names to deepen your knowledge of your Lord, strengthen your worship, and shape the way you live.

Native First Nations people Displaced
1,600 first nation, Native American indigenous people have been displaced ,due to ongoing forest fires and wild fires in Canada. Even more or under evacuation or a threat. And while non-native communities are feeling the effects of ongoing issues with air quality, this is disproportionately affecting the Native American indigenous first nations people of this area. There is not always immediate infrastructure to handle these types of emergencies and many of the Native areas are remote. Some can only be accessed by boat or plane which makes evacuating even more difficult. Traditionally, Native American and indigenous people have also used these forests for foraging hunting, but also these are considered sacred lands. Native people used to do controlled burns, which would help prevent large wildfires, but colonial governments have not allowed this. And now wildfires and fires fires are affecting everyone ;

Elementary OS- Saving Older Computers
SOLUTION FOR USING OLDER COMPUTERS IN NEW TIMES- ELEMENTARY OS- OPERATING SYSTEM
In case of having an older computer- such as an Apple or other computers from or 10 years ago – you may try using Elementary OS system – that is if you find the person to change your operating system to this elementary – based on Linux;
Technically speaking, we could save many old computers from being thrown into landfill- thrown or unused.
WHAT IS ELEMENTARY OS SYSTEM?
(Source Wikipedia)
Elementary OS (stylized as elementary OS) is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu LTS. It promotes itself as “thoughtful, capable, and ethical computing”[4] and has a pay-what-you-want model.[5][6] The operating system, the desktop environment (called Pantheon[2][3]), and accompanying applications are developed and maintained by elementary, Inc.[7][8]
* Design philosophy
The human interface guidelines of the elementary OS project focus on immediate usability with a gentle learning curve, rather than full-fledged customization.[9] The three core rules the developers set for themselves were “concision“, “accessible configuration” and “minimal documentation”.[9]
Since its inception, elementary OS has received praise and criticism for its design. Wired claimed that it closely resembled macOS, visually and in user experience.[10] The elementary developers say that while it may look like macOS at first, they have a lot of differences.[11]
Pantheon’s main shell is deeply integrated with other elementary OS applications, Web (the default web browser based on GNOME Web)[12] and Code (a simple text editor).[13][14] Pantheon uses Gala as its window manager,[15] which is based on Mutter.[15]
* HOME TEST
Simply bought an Older Mac – which seemed sort of usable- could barely even browse the internet – however, after trying to install several operating systems – the only one which worked well happened to be Elementary OS- and the good news found many free applications to install with it – as well as few paid ones. It truly turns out to be an Excellent systems for using with older computers. Now it is fully usable with many applications – such as LibreWolf, LibreOffice, Photos Organic Maps, Educational Apps- such as for writing and Math- Geogebra, Follate for books, Graphics Apps and many others- and you may search for those at the app center below;
The only downside is most likely you will need a Computer specialist/ person – to install the system for you — unless you have the skills to do that yourself;and spending a bit of time like 20 minutes to half an hour to get used to basic Elementary and how to use it.

Ungrateful Women – Narrations
Narration/Hadith on Ungrateful Women: Islam
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The Prophet (#) said: “Il was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful.” It was asked, “Do they disbelieve in Allah?” (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, “They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, ‘l have never received any good from you.”
: Sahih al-Bukhari 29 : Book 2, Hadith 22
#Ungrateful #Women #islam; #Narrations – #Hadith
Distributing Zakah – Hadith
Narrated Sa’d:
Allah’s Messenger (#) distributed (Zakat) amongst (a group of) people while | was sitting there but Allah’s Messenger (#) left a man whom | thought the best of the lot. | asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (#)! Why have you left that person? By Allah | regard him as a faithful believer.” The Prophet (#) commented: “Or merely a Muslim.” | remained quiet for a while, but could not help repeating my question because of what | knew about him. And then asked Allah’s Messenger (#), “Why have you left so and so? By Allah! He is a faithful believer.” The Prophet (#) again said, “Or merely a Muslim.” And | could not help repeating my question because of what | knew about him. Then the Prophet (#) said, “O Sa’d! | give to a person while another is dearer to me, for fear that he might be thrown on his face in the Fire by Allah.”
Sahi Al Bukhari 27, Book 2, Hadith 27;
Do Not Eat from Gold and Silver Dishes
- From Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman:
- Hudhayfah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Do not drink from gold or silver vessels, and do not wear silk or brocade. Verily, these are for unbelievers in the world and for us in the Hereafter.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5633, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2067
- Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi (authenticity agreed upon) according to Al-Bukhari and Muslim
- عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تَشْرَبُوا فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَلَا تَلْبَسُوا الْحَرِيرَ وَالدِّيبَاجَ فَإِنَّهَا لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَكُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ
- From Umm Salamah: The Prophet said: “Whoever drinks from a vessel of gold or silver, surely he has only filled his belly with the fire of Hell.” Sahih Muslim 2065 [1]
Scholarly consensus clarifies that this applies to all forms of dishware and cutlery, including plates, bowls, cups, and spoons. Utensils made of other materials (steel, glass, wood, or copper) are completely permissible.
