Inyan Icantewaste

What's in a name?

If you stop and think about it, a name says alot about you. It can display your royalty or rank, or show the truth of your character. It can, and often does, define who we are as people.

In retrospect, I wonder how my name has affected me? I hope in all that i have done thus far that I am living up to everything that is represented in my name. i hope that others in this world can live up to everything their name represents. Represents, that's the word. Remember that with every breath we take, every choice we make, we are representing so many things in this world.

I account to an interesting event in my life. When I was about the age of 15, I was given a Native American name. That name is Inyan Icantewaste. It is a Sioux word that Translates to "Happy Rock". Granted, it's not something like sitting bull, but to me it means alot.

Like the name I was born with and with all the honorary titles I have been given, I, too, try to live to those names; and even then, make those name mean something to everyone else.
