Activities:
Native Americans often name their children for animals or events in nature. Discussions
with the children will help them to think of names. Examples: Red Cloud, Great Lightning,
White Fox, Brown Bear.
Let each child make up a Native American name. When the child hears the lyrics,
“What is your name, tell me now?” the child tells his/her name and the children act out
the name.
If you live in an area where there is an Indian reservation, arrange a field trip there to
visit the schools and share with the children.
Explore the outdoors with your children and talk about the things you see (trees,
flowers, leaves, etc.). Make up a Native American name using something in the
environment and use that name for a day or two.
