The Logical Man Must Either Deny All

Indian Names Were Either Characteristic Nicknames Given In A Playful Spirit, Deed Names, Birth Names, Or Such As Have A Religious And Symbolic Meaning.

The Native American Has Been Generally Despised By His White Conquerors For His Poverty And Simplicity. They Forget, Perhaps, That His Religion Forbade The Accumulation Of Wealth And The Enjoyment Of Luxury... Furthermore, It Was The Rule Of His Life To Share The Fruits Of His Skill And Success With His Less Fortunate Brothers. Thus He Kept His Spirit Free From The Clog Of Pride, Cupidity, Or Envy, And Carried Out, As He Believed, The Divine Decree-a Matter Profoundly Important To Him.

Is There Not Something Worthy Of Perpetuation In Our Indian Spirit Of Democracy, Where Earth, Our Mother, Was Free To All, And No One Sought To Impoverish Or Enslave His Neighbor?

Friendship Is Held To Be The Severest Test Of Character. It Is Easy, We Think, To Be Loyal To A Family And Clan, Whose Blood Is In Your Own Veins.

The Logical Man Must Either Deny All Miracles Or None.
