My Lil Mutt

[eagleclan22]

ok yall, I have a question....

Would you be offended if someone of another tribe or even a non native person named their dog after your tribe.. and they didnt belong to that tribe?

I just got told to butt out of a certain forum because I was stating my opinion that it was not very appropriate for someone to do this, especially if they dont even know what the word means. I dont know if its just a Cherokee Princess thing, or does everyone else NOT see anything wrong with naming their doggies after another group?

How would you feel if I had a lil mutt at home named after your tribe?

I would be HONORED!!!! :) Dawg = unconditional love. Besides, most white people do not know what the actual name of any given Native Tribe even means! They just think it sounds pretty. And if they're an NDN who named their dawg after your tribe to be "ignorant", well that just speaks for itself.

My dawgs:
Easy Mountain Breeze
Rocky Mountain Breeze
Easy's Mr. Breeze
Sandie's Golden Shadow
Jet - adopted Golden Retriever
LuLu - abandoned Heinz 57 - WE LOVE HER!
and last, but not least
April Kitty.....my dawgs love their little kitty

When I was a lil kid we had a black lab and us kids named him blackie maybe that gal named her dog anishinaabe when she was a kid or something and didn't think of that when she grew up all the people she'd offend. Cuz when we were kids we didn't know how to be PC and how "Blackie" could be such a bad word. Who knows just a suggestion as I'm trying to see it in a different light. We had a german shepard too he was the best dog and named him the ojibwe word for our family's last name I don't think that's dissin anyone since he was considered part of the fam but then again thats a word not a name for a tribe so.... Yeah that's kind of a long name for a dog (anishinaabe) and I can understand your point eagleclan22 about the matter. I never really thought of this kind of situation before til it sprouted up here lol still thinkin tho.... :)
