A little American Indian boy asked his father, the Big Chief of the tribe:
> "Father, why is it that we always have long names, while the white men have short names like Bill , Tex or Sam ?"
>
> "My son", replied his father, "Our names represent a symbol, a sign, or a poem in our culture; not like the white men who live all together and merely repeat their names from generation to generation.
>
> For example, your sister's name is Small Romantic Moon Over The Lake because, on the night she was born, there was
> a beautiful moon reflected in the lake.
>
> Then there's your brother, White Horse of the Prairies, because he was born on a day that the big white horse who gallops over the prairies appeared near our camp and is a symbol of our capacity to live and of the life force of our people. It's really very simple and easy to understand”.
