When you encode number on more than one byte, the first question you have
to  answer is  : 'do I put the biggest part of the number at the beginning
or at the end of the lot of bytes?".  For lots of reasons, the two answer
are globally equivalent, and, historically the different kind of plateformes
(SPARC, intel, ...) have had one or the other.
The problem is when you want to transfer one indianness encoding from the
other you have somehow to trancode it, or it wont work.

Aren't Endians Native Americans or something?

Indians (with I at the beginning) are people from india. Native Americans
are called Indians because Christopher Columbus thought he reached india,
when in fact he discovered america. At this time, nobody knew there was
something between espagna and india, on the westbound road he was exploring.
