Native Americans in general were fond of children. Their
parents did not have family names handed down from fathers
to sons or daughters. Each had their individual name. Girls
usually got their names from flowers and pretty things in
nature. A boy might take his name from something he saw in
a dream. He might also change it several times if he felt
the name was unlucky. —Barbara Sullivan
