A lot of Native names are still around in the U.S., as street names, or towns, or counties--maybe states too: Minnesota? Right here in Louisville there are streets named Iroquois, Hiawatha, Ottawa, Ticonderoga, and Paiute. Kentucky itself is purported to be from a Native (I forgot which tribe) word pronounced something like kan-too-kee, which, iirc, means roughly, "plains". There's a Manteo, North Carolina, and the wonderful city name Manitowoc--sorry, forgot which state--Wisconsin? Plus there are names such as Saskatchewan in Canada.
They sound odd now, but those people were here first.
