Native American Name Giving Ceremony

Welcome City Campbell California

Before going any further I need to point out a few important thing so please bear with me?

While looking for your information you came to only  two sites looking for the answer.

Native American Name Giving Ceremony?

You are in the California side of Indian country, any more west and you go for a swim in the Pacific Ocean.

you came to one of our sites in the eastern part of Indian country, any more east and you swim in the Atlantic Ocean.

The next and last site I am not sure about?

An Educational Resource Site for Teachers and Homeschoolers

http://www.apples4theteacher.com/

My point and thank you so much for the chance to once again teach about our people.

Traditional tribes in your area have their culture and ceremonies and this is good.

Traditional tribes in our area also have our culture and ceremonies that we also believe to be good, how be it might be a little different?

Traditional tribes written about in that 2nd site also have their culture and ceremonies and one would guess that they would explain to children a lot different?

All teachers should teach to children in ways that the child could understand and elders in a native tribe are no different.

We all would use our words, then the words children understand because this is the reason to teach?

The 2nd site you looked into might be written by non-natives for schooling?

No matter the good intention this site leads you away from a traditional culture and ceremony.

Traditional Elder Teachers have a problem with this because it opens the door to bad information about both the tribe and the children, all three tribes, actually four tribes because it writes about two and one is misspelled, three would be tribes in your area and four would be out people.

You see, we do not have Ritual Song, tents, priest, ritualistic phrases or anything else non-native?

Tenskwatawa, Tecumseh, and the Shawnees people

Tenskwatawa

 

Checking on did Google get a virus?

Again sorry for any delay to your question

Tenskwatawa childhood

I hope that you have been getting good answers to your question from anyone/everyone in your state because his people were in the area long before it became a state.

However, I would like to add my two cents simple because I live with an Anthropologist and somewhat of an expert on Tenskwatawa, Tecumseh, and the Shawnees people, because she is one of the decedents.

Coyote?

Coyote?

Someone from an Unknown city in an Unknown state came to a few of my older tripod sites a half dozen times while looking for the word Coyote?

"Uncas tribe Mohegan coyote"

To be exact.

Pequot/Mohegan

I do not usually write to such a weak area from Unknown however, this time it is important to teach about a Coyote in our culture?

Yes, there was and still are Coyotes in our area and in fact I remember a naming ceremony that my grandfather names a member from upstate N Y 'Chief Coyote' because he always had some (Coyotes) as friends with him when he showed at out monthly meetings.

There was/is no such thing as "Uncas tribe Mohegan coyote" this person was not a Mohiigan.

I often use the word Coyote along with many other names while talking about the deceiver of our people.

Please understand that this is to let you all know that this fraud or wannabe (Kiehtan/Creator) has a different name in many cultures throughout the world, not in my culture but by using other names along with our name my readers could better understand the posting?

Coyote, Trickster, Evil-One, Bad-Spirit, Devil, Satan, Powwow, come to mind.

The word Coyote comes from my brothers and sisters west of the Mississippi river, I believe it means the same as Trickster or Powwow in my culture?

GO BACK TO YOUR RESERVATION

Oh wait, we are already there?

It is not often, if ever, that I can agree with anyone that has gone all the way through school and into high school, let alone one that is a Lancaster School Board Candidate and through all of those years has managed to Flunked the History of the United States of America?

However, I find myself in total agreement with Lin and Kelly Hughes Depczynski !

We the Natives of this land must go back to our land!

 'Oh Wait'

We are already there?

Lin/Kelly, your move?

Lancaster School Board Candidate Agrees Indians Should 'Go Back to the Reservation'

http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2015/04/10/lancaster-school-board-candidate-agrees-indians-should-go-back-reservation-159965

If you do not like what your landlords wish to change in our land that you are a squatter on "You can Move?

Words to my followers.

This my friends is why I refuse to use the word 'Reservation' not a native word!

I call them Jail or prisons because this is what the invading government intended!

The Indians that allow this word to continue just to be able to get a few crumb, at the expense of their brothers and sisters not on these reservations get just what they deserve from this government!

AHO!

Enough Said.

A government official can say "WE!"

I'm sure that you all agree that the First Lady is a government official?

What strikes me most about this statement is the ownership.

Michelle Obama Stands Up for Native Americans, Says Natives Were Stripped of Their Culture

 

“We” passed a law.

“We” made their culture illegal.

It’s a showing of respect. No one thinks the Obama's are responsible for creating the conditions under which Native Americans must live and survive.

Michelle Obama, a black woman, obviously shares in the disenfranchisement and historical trauma that are hallmarks of the minority experience in the United States.

But in taking ownership – in that powerful moment of

“we,”

she acknowledges a truth that Native Americans have been trying to get people to understand for years:

that the United States government committed acts of ethnic and cultural cleansing against the tribes.

Native Americans are still facing enormous uphill battles in this nation, battles over land, hunting rights, representation, and autonomy.

It’s nice to know they have powerful allies in the Obama's.

The First Lady recognizes and affirms that many of the challenges Native American communities face have roots in systemic discrimination.

“You see, we need to be very clear about where the challenges in this community first started. Folks in Indian Country didn’t just wake up one day with addiction problems. Poverty and violence didn’t just randomly happen to this community. These issues are the result of a long history of systematic discrimination and abuse.”

“Let me offer just a few examples from our past, starting with how, back in 1830, we passed a law removing Native Americans from their homes and forcibly re-locating them to barren lands out west. The Trail of Tears was part of this process. Then we began separating children from their families and sending them to boarding schools designed to strip them of all traces of their culture, language and history. And then our government started issuing what were known as ‘Civilization Regulations’ – regulations that outlawed Indian religions, ceremonies and practices – so we literally made their culture illegal.”
