I was thinking about what the Native Americans would name people that we meet in everyday life today - instead of “Dances with Wolves” we might have “Interrupts Meetings with Cellphone” or “IMs Too Much.”
A slight hijack: Members of my tribe (Turtle Mountain Chippewa) can still get indian names if we choose to go through the process. I have relatives with second names like White Wolf, Two Guns, etc… I’ve always wanted to get mine but have been afraid I’ll end up with something like Little Fuzzy Chicken.
Whether it’s parking cars or setting up portable shelters, I know where the maximum amount of shade is going to be during the hottest/sunniest part of the day.
