Names and more names
A little Native American boy asked his father, the big chief of the tribe,
"Papa, why is it that we always have long names, while the white men have shorter names - Bill, Tex or Sam, for example?"
His father replied ...
"Look, son, our names represent a symbol, a sign, or a poem for our culture.
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.
It's very simple and easy to understand.
