I'm just watching Dances with wolves at the moment and I've got to the scene where they are introducing eachother.

What would be your indian name from your own perspective and the name which you honestly think others would give you which actually would be the real name?

Mine of the verb+noun format

A Red Indian boy goes to his mother one day with a puzzled look on his face. "Say Mom, why is my bigger brother named Mighty Storm"?
"Because he was conceived during a mighty storm", she said.
Then he asked "Why is my sister named Cornflower"?
"Well your father and I were in a cornfield when we made her", she replied. He then asked "And why is my other sister called Moonchild"?
"We were watching the moon-landing when she was conceived", the mother replies.
The mother paused and said to her son... "Tell me, Torn Rubber, why are you so curious?" [lol]

I do have an Indian name given to me by the Blackfoot of Southern Alberta.

I was known as 'Holy Lady.'

My understanding about native North American naming is that the name given was the first thing which the parents saw after the child was born. Having been born in Winnipeg in a hospital which overlooks the Highland named Fort Garry, in a Clearances settlement - I guess my name would have to be Caithness West.

Well, Canuck... if that is true then my Inidian name would be Snow Blizzard. My image name would have to be Deep Thought.

I'd be called falling snow,which I think is lovely,if it was the first thing that was seen.
I'd probably be called "walk with dogs" now :)

I like your given name of Knowing Fox, Rheggers. What prompted your self image name of Colouring Book?

My self image name would be Rhyming Lady.

My given name would be Memory Woman. :)

Now Northerner, you know I was your fav pupil...maybe not a first time , or second time success, but God loves a trier, and you have to pay for the lifestyle somehow I prob kept you in beer money for the rest of your life!! Think of the poor guy now attempting to teach me to pass my HGV! luckily he is already bald, and thankfully he has infinite patience is all I can say!
