Apache Don Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) That's a new definition for me, I am pretty certain the literal translation was "Human beings" Particulary among the Plains tribes. Ah, you've seen the movie 'Little Big Man'. Cheyenne = Human beings. A lot of Apache (the plains version being Kiowa btw) refer to themselves as 'Inde' which means people. In truth, most Native American languages don't translate easily to English -not big on grammar- but there are many books/articles where tribe names are translated as 'The people', some 'Our people' and yes, some 'Human beings'. Well done though, wasn't expecting a reply. You do of course realise, I didn't mean it as a serious contribution to the IMO, wholly ridiculous debate on the greater/subliminal meaning of WATP ETA Having said that, many a battle between the Sioux and the Pawnee for example, was preceded by chants of 'We are the people' and 'You are our enemy'.

Apache Don Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Did you know that the WATP was originally a Celtic chant, that is true, ask any old boy Celtic fan!!! Also the "billy boys" was a Celtic tune before rangers(IL) b*****dised it and made it offensive and sectarian like they do with many Celtic tunes. "Walk Alone" was also originally sang by rangers(IL) fans. We Are Total Pish That's a good un. I also liked Thirdrockfromthesun's little gem 'We Aren't Tax Payers'. Perhaps a chart should be compiled. Ps. as I greenied Thirdrock, you get one too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdcal Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 We are that poor? However I am an advocate of the thought that the majority of people are stupid. Just general life observations through dealing in a customer related work place So in my eyes WATP does hold true 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) The English translation of Native American tribe names (as chosen by the tribe themselves) is in many cases 'The People'. Conversely, the names given to tribes by other tribes, often translate as 'Enemy'. Eg 'Sioux' means enemy and 'Lakota' (same tribe) means the people. Hope this clears everything up for everyone. Actually, the vast majority of those who unwittingly use the WATP slogan are totally unaware that it originates from Psalm 95: 6-7.
