Q: Name an American Indian tribe. Somewhere inside this name, phonetically, is a kind of tree. Remove this tree, close up the remaining letters, and the remainder, phonetically, will name another kind of tree. What Indian tribe is this... and what are the trees?I don't think any hints are necessary for this one. How many Indian tribes can you name? One of them is bound to be the answer...
Edit: It was so simple you hardly need the answer, but here it is anyway.
A: CHEROKEE Indian tribe --> OAK + CHERRY trees.

For NPR puzzle posts, don't post the answer or any hints that could lead to the answer before the deadline (usually Thursday at 3pm ET). If you know the answer, submit it to NPR, but don't give it away here.
You may provide indirect hints to the answer to show you know it, but make sure they don't assist with solving. You can openly discuss your hints and the answer after the deadline. Thank you.
