I assume you know this but a tigerlily is a flower.

To look up Native languages go to this website:
http://www.native-languages.org
You can go to the languages of your tribes and see if you can find the info. you are looking for.

For information on tribes and tribal contact information:
http://www.500nations.com

I hate to say this but it could be fake as well. On Peter Pan, which stereotypes Natives horribly, the princesses name is Tiger Lily. Maybe someone pulled it off there?

But it is possible it is true because according to information I found the tiger lily was important to some Native tribes:

If it means anything it probably represents what the tiger lily would represent to the culture. Food, Roots, Culture, etc..

Hope this helps.
