I have a friend who is doing a family tree and and putting the meaning of each person's name with the names. She has come across the name Green Berry several times. Her father has told her it is a old family name from their Indian heritage, but can not remember which tribe, probably 1 from the east coast. I have never heard the name before, does anyone recongnise it or know it's meaning?

there's a couple links for you... it seems green berry is a first name not a first and last name from what I can tell, and there are tons of folks with that name..just type it in your browser.. some from texas , arkansas, georgia... what's amazing is that all the pics i saw of guys named green berry kinda all looked alike, but they all had different last names..Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear... just sing, sing a song.sigpic -

I have a question too. I don't know very many white people, but, I kinda would like a "coat of arms". Annie, would you ask your white friend if I could get one? I have no British blood, but, I'm kinda partial to the name, "Jeeves". Would I be outta line to go to an English naming ceremony and change my name to Jeeves so I can get me a coat of arms?Comment

I seemed to have started something here with my only Indian that she knows comment
Margaret is a nice lady, who really is interested in making this for her parents and family. Since she knew my middle name was Fawn and my daughters is Dove she honestly thought I would know.
Like many of you I have been asked to speak at schools at Thanksgiving time. I would do it, but NOT what they were expecting. Since I am half Indian and half Scottish I go to both Pow Wows and Highland games in my area. When my daughter was about 3 she ask why the Indians kilts were smaller. BINGO! When I go to schools I set up my displays and then turn around and ask the class if a man walked into this room wearing a piece of cloth around his waist, his face painted and carring a spear what would he be? Immediately the class will yell INDIAN! I then ask are you sure? Reach behind my display and pull out a picture and say couldn't he be a aborginie from Australia, set up that picture, or a highlander from Scotland, set up that picture and then I start my talk on cultural differances and simularities, making sure to point out that EACH tribe, like the different parts of the United States has their own type of culture. By the end of the class the kids have usually listened because of my opening catching their attention and learned instead of cutting up or pretending I was not there.Courage is just fear that has said it's prayers.Comment

In days gone by, Indigenous peoples of North America were known by tribal names given to them as children. Some tribes allowed a person to earn a new adult name when they were old enough to receive it.
Some tribes still believe they need this Indian name so that the Creator will recognize...06-28-2004, 03:46 PM -
With much faith and work, I was finally able to locate the names of my great grandmother's siblings.
Her name was Chief.
Her brother's name was Badger. (God of Protection)
Sister's name was Leola. (Prairie flower)
The other two siblings were named James and Judie.

I'm curious....
When I was young, before the advent of the Internet, I'd travel with my granpaw and granmaw, and whenever we met someone we didn't know, my grandpaw would invariably ask, "What family are you?". To which the other would say their name, and wait...their parents...07-03-2004, 03:51 AM
