Other tribes lost their languages and most of their culture. Nonetheless, Native Americans have proved to be resilient. Today they number 4.5 million (about 1.5 percent of the total U.S. population), and only about one-third of Native Americans still live on reservations. Countless American place-names derive from Indian words, including the states of Massachusetts, Ohio, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, and Idaho.
In the modern day, there are only eight Native American languages still spoken. Most of these languages are spoken only by older generations and are feared to be on the verge of going extinct. The languages still spoken are Navajo, Cherokee, Cree, Ojibwa, Dakota, Apache, Blackfoot and Choctaw.
