Editing Miami people (section)

==Name==
The name Miami derives from ''Myaamia'' (plural ''Myaamiaki''), the tribe's [[endonym|autonym]] (name for themselves) in their [[Algonquian languages|Algonquian language]] of [[Miami–Illinois language|Miami–Illinois]]. This appears to have been derived from an older term meaning "downstream people." Some scholars contended the Miami called themselves the Twightwee (also spelled ''Twatwa''), supposedly an [[onomatopoeia|onomatopoeic]] reference to their [[sacred]] bird, the [[sandhill crane]]. Recent studies have shown that ''Twightwee'' derives from the [[Delaware language]] [[exonym]] for the Miamis, ''tuwéhtuwe'', a name of unknown etymology.<ref>{{cite book| last= Costa| first= David J.| year= 2000| chapter= Miami-Illinois Tribe Names| editor-first= John| editor-last= Nichols| title= Papers of the Thirty-first Algonquian Conference| pages= 30–53| location= Winnipeg| publisher= University of Manitoba}}</ref> Some Miami have stated that this was only a name used by other tribes for the Miami, and not their autonym. They also called themselves ''Mihtohseeniaki'' (the people). The Miami continue to use this autonym today.
