American Indian Names

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.

Do you  have any other questions, Little Broken Condom Made in China?
