A young boy of the Blackfoot nation comes to his father and asked,
“How do our people acquire their names?”
His father replies,
“My son, when a child is born, if it is a boy, the father immediately leaves the tent and observes the horizon. The first thing that catches the father’s eye becomes the boy’s name. If it is a girl, the mother names it in the morning. You’re uncle was named eagle-with-rabbit, your brother horseatingweeds, your cousin running-bear.”
“why do you ask, Two-dogs-fuccking?”
