Renaming Indians by Dr Eastman Aims to Tie Names to Generations
Dr Charles A Eastman of Amherst is nearing completion of giving family names to about 30,000 Indians, a task linked to land allotment records. The Sioux educator, a Dartmouth and Boston University Medical School alumnus, explains names will be assigned by generation and Christian names attached to each member. He notes most under 35 have schooling, supports the shift away from long tribal names, and outlines examples like Bear-Looking-Around and Albert Bull Down. He also discusses Indian women’s role, the interaction of white civilization with Native life, and the goal of safeguarding deeds and records through standardized surnames.
