We say all the time how the U.S. is a young country, but it's only a young country to us. The Native Americans lived here for many millennia before we did. Do we know if they had a name for the North American continent?

There's always room for discussion, but perhaps this previous topic will answer your inquiry.
Did Native Americans have a name for 'America' before Europeans named it and if so, why don't they insist on using it?
