Indian Names
A little American Indian boy asked his father, the big chief and
witch doctor of the tribe, Papa, why is it that we always have long
names, while the white men have shorter names like Bill, Tex or Sam?
His father replied, Look, son, our names represent a symbol, a
sign, or a poem for our culture not like the white men, who live all
together and repeat their names from generation to generation. Also,
it is part of our makeup that in spite of everything, we survive.
For example, your sister\'s name is Small Romantic Moon Over The
Lake, because on the night she was born, there was a beautiful moon
reflected in the lake.
Then there\'s your brother, Big White Horse of the Prairies, because
he was born on a day that the big white horse who gallops over the
prairies of the world appeared near our camp and is a symbol of our
capacity to live and the life force of our people. It\'s very simple
and easy to understand.
