Tammi, I heard the word you are referring to in some films on TV when I was very young. Here in Germany it seemed to me as if it was a normal word from a native language. I found out more about that word at the age of 37 when I tried to find out more about native american culture. Since then I never used that word again and I am trying hard to inform other people who are using it about the meaning. That again teached me to take a very deep look before you believe what the TV shows us.

Many greetings
Pit
