Native American Names for God
How the Creator is referred to in each language would fill a book. We said “Kitchi Manito” or Great Spirit, or just “Manito” meaning Spirit. The Creator was referred to as “Mishomis” meaning Grandfather. My Lakotah people will say “Wakan Tanka” which means Sacred Spirit.
He is “Kitchi Ogiima” to me or The Great Headman.
To read how “Wakan Tanka” spoke to me as a child, and how I grew to follow “Kitchi Ogiima” as a man, buy my book, Dancing My Dream, which is available through this web site and through Amazon.com.
