Lakota have epic surnames!

06-01-2023, 10:01 PM

Whilst in the library the other day, hunting amongst the languages, I found a Lakota-English dictionary. Curiosity as to what on Earth it was doing in this part of the world overwhelmed me,so I had a nose through. In the acknowledgments section, there were some cracking names. Apart from a couple of 'Wild Bear' or 'Fast Horse', my favourites were 'Nathan Chasing-His-Horse' 'Ron His-Horse-Ran-Away' and 'Rachel Yells-At-Eagles'. There's a whole story to be told there

Rachel Yells-At-Eagles? I wonder if the Eagles refers to the bird, the music group or the ball team?
