Lila Waste Kola!

Wish I could have gone to the naming ceremony as well. And dont worry bout being snubbed by a few people at such a ceremony. I've delt with the same on a few occassions and had to earn their respect before i was accepted. The word for white people in sioux is Wasicu - 'wah - shee - chue' and the little bundles you tied tobacco in are called prayer ties and the colors represent the 4 directions and the tobacco is an offering to carry your prayers to Wakan Tanka - 'Great Spirit'.

PilaMayaye - 'pee - lah - mah - yah - yea', Thank you for sharing.
