[Vision2020] No "fiesta", please we're Idahoans

[Paul Rumelhart]

It's a good thing we're not getting an influx of Italians or Germans, or we 
would hardly be able to speak.  For example, "celebrate" is Latin (from 
"celebrare" which means "to attend in great numbers").

Anyone know what word any of the various Native American tribes might use for 
"celebration"?  Because any other words are non-native and thus shouldn't be 
allowed.

Paul

Let us hope they don't drink Corona on May 5. Oops, "corona" is one of those 
danged cognates. And should someone point out that "celebrate" is a verb, 
and "fiesta" a noun?
