And even if those finds had not been made, anyone born here is a Native American. Yup. Those people need to get over it. That was a long time ago. Not my fault that I was born in Texas. |

Birds, in general, are symbols of peace, experience, and natural freedom. However, placing a bird, ANY BIRD, as "walking", indicates the opposite. One could translate "Walking Eagle", to "One who breeds war and confinement". By contrast, my name is "Soaring Hawk", translated as "One whose observations bring freedom". I'm an inquisitive little bastard, and it has helped me shape my world view drastically. |

I've got to address the issue of how it is the Native Americans arrive here. They did not ALL cross the Bering Straight. Yes, there were a few, but to understand the Native American people (and you can't really classify them into a single group as their creation stories differ widely, and many of the groups don't share ANY genetic markers with the other tribes. For instance, Navajo's claim to have emerged from a subterranean city underneath what is no Shiprock, NM. Oddly enough, "Navajo" in Greek translates to "Shipwreck". The Osage's traveled from the islands of the South Pacific, walked across the entirety of North America, before turning around and settling in what is now Oklahoma, where they determined (accurately) was the geographic center of the continent. The Zuni's were engineered by an extraterrestrial race that they still communicate with every year in a ceremony they call Shalako. If you travel to their Mesa during Shalako, you can see lights emerge in the sky, travel to their Mesa, hover, land, and take off back into the sky. I have seen this personally. The Chippewa traveled from Northern Europe, up the St. Lawrence River in main and capsized over Niagara falls, eventually washing them into the Great Lakes where the survivors made it to land and began the tribe. |

Walking eagle means its either crippled, handicapped, or lame in the culture and he thinks its an honorable name. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1216425 Thats like giving a title floating fish Greetings from the Rosebud Sioux Indian reservation! I am Native American (Rosebud Sioux); I have mixed feelings about this. In Lakota it would be pronounced, Wambli Mani, “Walking Eagle”. President Obama has done some good things for us (mostly shovel read projects), it created lots of jobs on the rez, I personally don’t think he has done anything to earn a Indian name, also he would have to go to a honoring ceremony to have the name bestowed upon him, it was not given in the correct way. I have in-laws with the last name Walking Eagle; it is there family last name, just like you have a last name. It doesn’t mean a injured bird, it is just a name. hey, hi, if you're still around. my husband is from Pine Ridge, specifically Evergreen/Porcupine, and has relatives in Rosebud. so hello! how did you find this place? crazy, huh. |

anonimalle User ID: 40961281 United States 07/11/2013 09:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | President BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York. Quoting: Hard Eight He spoke for almost an hour about his plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living. He referred to his time as a U.S. Senator and how he had voted for every Native American issue that came to the floor of the Senate. Although President Obama was vague about the details of his plans, he seemed most enthusiastic and spoke eloquently about his ideas for helping his "Red sisters and brothers". At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented Obama with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name, "Walking Eagle". ... The proud President Obama accepted the plaque and then departed in his motorcade to a fundraiser, waving to the crowds. A news reporter later asked the group of chiefs how they came to select the new name they had given to the President. They explained that "Walking Eagle" is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly. unnamed email source Behind every myth lies a mystery, and every legend holds an echo of the truth …… Que Sera Sera "For not by numbers of men nor by measure of body but by valor of soul is war decided" Bilisarius " At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe.
