Was these river names in Iowa discussed previously?  Does anyone want to offer some tentative translations?

What I was looking for is a number of translations, for example Nodaway, what does it mean? and also Nishnabota, these two word are listed as Rivers. And the word Nodaway, we use that in a song in one of our ceremonies, and it doesn't make sense, so I can't translate that particular song.
