A little Indian boy asked his father, the Big Chief and Witch Doctor of the tribe, "Papa, why is it that we always have long names, while the white men have shorter names: Bill, Tex or Sam, for example?"
His father replied, "Look, son, our names represent important philosophical symbols for our culture -- not like the white men, who are less imaginative and repeat their names from generation to generation. It is part of our makeup that in spite of everything, we survive.
The father contined: for example, your sister's name is Small Romantic Moon Over The Lake, because on the night she was conceived there was a beautiful moon reflected in the lake, and we viewed that as a symbol of the everlasting glory of our people reflected in the illumination of nature.
Then there's your brother, Big White Horse of the Prairies, because on the night he was conceived there was a big white horse galloping over the prairie near our teepee, and we viewed that as a symbol of the life force of our people and our capacity to live free.
So you see, my son, it's very simple and easy to understand. Do you have any other questions, Little Broken Condom Made in China?"
