whats in a name

: What's In A Name


A little American Indian boy asked his father, the
big chief and medicine man of the tribe, "Father,
why is it that we always have long names, while the white men have shorter
names like
Bill , Tex or Sam?"

His father replied, "My 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.
