Awesome! I hope Indigenous languages get added to Babbel soon.

Basically you have Diné, Algonquian, Iroquoisan, Siouxan, and Aztecan. That's an over simplistic way to say it but that's the majority. Macro Algonquian includes Algonquian and Mvskoke Nations (Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek) and nearly a dozen individualized isolates. Iroquoisan is a distinct and very numerous isolate. Covers the Tsalagi(Cherokee) and the Six Nations. Siouxan is a distinct and numerous isolate. Covers the Lakota, Dakota, and related tongues. Aztecan includes tribes in the U.S. with a related tongue to Indigenous people in Northern Mexico, covering the Comanche, most notably. Diné covers primarily the Navajo, Apache, and Tlingit.

Even if they somehow come back, their speakers are already heavily Anglicized/Americanized. The way they think and the way they see the world is often associated with the language they inherited growing up, and most of Native Americans grew up speaking English.
