Native American names
A young Native American boy Takes a walk with his father. He asks "Father, how did my older brother get his name?
He replied "Son, on the day he was born I looked out of the lodge and there was an eagle hunting over a nearby ridge. So, I named him Soaring Eagle."
The boy then asked "Father, how did my younger sister get her name.
The warrior replied "Son, on the morning your sister was born, I looked out of the lodge and saw a deer escape a mountain lion attack. So, I named her Running Deer."
Puzzled, he inquired of his son "Why do you ask me these questions, Humping Dogs?"
