Native American Names -- Cherokee --%26gt; Lakota?
I think you need to learn a bit about the Cherokee. The Lakota are not another name for the Cherokee. The Lakota are a northern Plains tribes, more commonly known as the Sioux. The Cherokee are a Southeast Woodlands tribes. Here are some reliable resources on the Cherokee to get you started:





The Official Web Site of the Cherokee Nation based in Tahlequah Oklahoma.

Reply:I might be wrong, but the Lokata and Cherokee are different tribes.





Anyway, I'm Sierra Miwok and my spirit name is Nah-kee Shah-Neesh and it means "Brother in the clouds" or "Cloud Brother."
Reply:Names were usually given by family members or came from a dream that the person had.





There are many books on the Cherokee language out there and I think that might help you to understand a lot of things.
Reply:Excuse me...Cherokee and Lakota are not the same thing, two totally different Nations, and their ancestral lands are pretty far apart. And their languages are not even of the same language family.





Lakota is "Sioux". Upper Midwest plains vs Eastern woodland.





So...which is it?





I'm not sure about the Cherokee...but I know the Lakota don't hand out names.
Reply:NAMES are not to be taken lightly.


Ask YOUR OWN elders about this.

Reply:What do you mean by Cherokee (Lakota)? Those are two entirely different tribes. The Cherokee were an eastern woodlands tribe, while the Lakota became a plains tribe.





Names were given by an Elder after knowing the person being named for some time, and that persons name may change over the years.
Reply:Two good places to start looking are Reservations and Casinos.
