The way in which Native Americans were named depended on which tribe they belonged to. Some names would have been chosen by the elders of the tribe whilst others would have been the names of ancestors. The idea that parents chose a name for their child by using the first thing they saw from the wigwam when the child was born is seen as a racist stereotype.
