Naming the Warriors. OT QUITE 90 years ago, a 10- year-old Indian boy of the Sioux tribe quarreled with a young Cheyenne. Blows were exchanged, and the Cheyenne boy had the worst of it. His opponent, however, was marked by the battle— his painted face was streaked as though rain had splashed against it. In memory of that event, the'lad was given the name of “Rain-in-the- Face.” When he grew to young man- hood, he took part in warfare against enemies of the Sioux: and a battle was fought in midst of a rain storm. Before the fighting commenced, one side of his face was painted black, the other side red. When the rain came pouring down, it made strcaks in the paint; and his fellow warriors decided that he had been named properly. Once more they then at least you have not misled your | partner or done anything to make him mistrust your future raises or take-outs. | T think an illustration will make my point clear, more so than further ex planations in general terms.

Another Sioux boy of that time w: given the name of “Jumping Badger.” | 1t at the age of 14 he was honored the gift of his father's name, “Sitting Bull.” Some Indian names are hard to translate into English. “Tecumseh,” for example, meant “One who passes across space.” This name has been translated as “Shooting Star” and as “Crouching Panther.” Indians seldom went through life with a single name. At birth a child might be named after the animal held sacred by fhe clan of which he was’a member. 1f his parents belonged to the Bear clan, he might be called “Liitle Bear” or “Big Bear.” depending on whether he was a small or good- sized baby. In another clan. he would be “Little Buffalo” or “Big Buffalo.” Among California Indians, it was a wide-spread custom for children to be called by names meaning “Child.” | “childish things.” NG STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
