.@loonyloolaluna Oh wait - did you mean the NAME is of American Indian origin? It isn't. The name is of immigrant origin.

.@loonyloolaluna However, indigenous magic was important in the founding of the school. If I say which tribes, location is revealed.

She may not give us a specifics but it is still a lot of new information on the American school. The name itself is of immigrant origin but the school was founded through the indigenous Native American magic. That is extremely interesting. Do you have any thoughts on which tribes would be most influential in founding a school of magic in America?

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be in theaters on November 18, 2016.
