Renaming Indians Sparks Debate Over Native Names
Maj. Frank Terry at the Puyallup Indian school discusses a decade of study on Indian names and translations. He notes names change with life events, earnings laughs, and tribal customs, citing examples like Afraid-of-his-horse and Six-bears, while warning that English renderings distort identities. He cites cases from Pawnee Oklahoma to Shoshone Wyoming and laments lost connections between individuals and their names.
