Because of first contact we sometimes
have a few names, ones we use out in the world, known as phony names, and the
only one that counts.
Our naming ceremonies are our way to
introduce a person to Creator.
If excepted, Creator will name this
person, this is why all of our ceremonies are so sacred!
Now that person can speak in prayer to
and hear from Creator.
This is also why traditional elders and
spiritual leaders get so unset when they hear, "I just came from so and so
and he/she gave me my Indian name!
It will take at least two weeks ( should
take a lot longer, depends on how long it takes before you learn that you
should not try to rush Creator) before a person hears that Creator has given
you your tribal name, not because Creator is busy, but because Creator will
wait for you to humble yourself enough before the people and yourself to get
that name!
First thing before one can get an
"INDIAN NAME" (Native American) you must be or have been adopted into
our traditional tribe.
A name is deemed so precious that it is
only used during ceremonies
