addendum

...forgot to mention below that our guide told us that the children of the Coachia indians did not receive their names until they were about 7 years old. The purpose of this was to make sure the name described the child. The village spent a full day discussing and approving or not the name.
Lackng a village she named us herself. Tom is Roaring Thunder, Heather is Walking Mountain Lion and I am Wind on Water.
