* Haida does not have a direct equivalent to "hello." Greetings are typically more context-specific and involve acknowledging the person's status and relationship to the speaker.
* Cree uses "Tani" as a greeting, but it means "thank you."
It's possible you are thinking of another Indigenous language or a mispronunciation of a Cree phrase. If you could provide more context or the spelling you heard, I might be able to help you further.
