wow you are really getting offensive now- call yourself by a slave name
if you want to. My name was given to me with love by my mother. Your
words are disrespectful and imply that a person can't be taken
seriously unless they are called by a specific type of name, which is
at best silly at worst seriously offensive.
You set it up as "them" and "us". You sound like a racist.

Look into the history of how they acquired their names--this is not a
silly issue. If they are interbred and americanized to the point where
even the leaders of the movement have names like Russell Means and
Phyllis Young, and keep them, they are giving up a very important way
of re-establishing their indigenous culture. Names are NOT a silly
issue. For me to take them seriously, they need to get rid of what
are, in effect, "slave names".

those are their names. They should use the name they have. Don't be
silly.

If they are serious, they should perhaps stop using their "white
american" first and last names, and take on Lakota names?
