What does the word Miami mean to Native Americans?

Answer:
The native American tribe called the Miami originally lived in Ohio and neighbouring parts of Indiana and Michigan. They called themselves myaamiaki ("the downstream people"). Today they are mostly in Oklahoma, with a smaller group in Indiana.

Miami in Florida is named for a completely different native tribe - the Mayaimi, who are extinct.
