Kemo sabe

Did Indians really say "how" as a greeting?  Well, some of them sort of.  The idea that there was one "Indian" language is of course laughable.  There were a great many languages, but in a lot of the "plains" languages (middle America) the word for "hello" or "greeting" was "ho" "hao" or something such. And that where it comes from.
