A little Indian boy asked his father, the big chief and witch doctor ofthe tribe, "Papa, why is it that we always have long names, while thewhite men have shorter names - Bill , Tex or Sam, for example?"
His father replied, "Look, son, our names represent a symbol, a sign, ora poem for our culture not like the white men, who live all together andrepeat their names from generation to generation. Also, it is part ofour 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 hewas born on a day that the big white horse who gallops over the prairiesof the world appeared near our camp and is a symbol of our capacity tolive and the life force of our people. It's very simple and easy to understand.
