May that crow always watch over your son.<BR/><BR/>LibbyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-23652083054726296552007-05-03T18:34:00.000-05:002007-05-03T18:34:00.000-05:00Names are very important to all Native people, not...Names are very important to all Native people, not just the Cherokee. My Cherokee mother named me Mary, and I always hated the name which she never could understand and I never could understand why she chose it since it was so common. After she died I found out that she was not Mexican as she pretended but actually Cherokee and then I found out just how important names are. So I'm happily Mary now, or Maria - which was what she always called me. However, my family nickname is Cricket - and from what she always used to say and what I now know, I think it was chosen as a Cherokee name. And I think that the crow was there for a reason, to welcome your son. What a wonderful story, thank you for sharing it.Otter Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150285495175373444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-28388913200077060462007-05-03T14:45:00.000-05:002007-05-03T14:45:00.000-05:00Shara, that is a wonderful story!
