Special arrow(s) - Need Indian Name
« on: May 27, 2007, 05:52:00 PM »
I'm making some special arrows as a gift and would like to put some kind of name or saying on at least one of them. I thought some of the trad gang would have some good ideas.

I would like it to be something in a Native-American language. However, I don't really care for "Mojo".

One of the arrows will be tipped with a broadhead that I used to take two deer and fletched with feathers from a turkey I got this spring.

Thanks, Robert

Do some research of the area you are from. The native Americans probably had names for areas where you either hunt or live. That would be a great tribute to them.

I believe "mojo" comes out of Africa, not America. the following from the encyclopedia

Terminology and manner of use:

The word Mojo traces its origins to Africa and entered the English language during the era of slavery in the USA. It has been widely known from the 19th century and early 20th century to the present. Other regional names for mojo bags, or for specific types of mojos, include gree-gree (a Bantu word typically spelled gris-gris by people in Louisiana because of the state's Francophone origins), mojo hand, conjure bag, conjure hand, toby, jomo, and nation sack. In Haiti, the usual name for this sort of charm bag among those of African descent is a wanga, oanga, or wanger.

"Skookum" is a Chinook Indian word (Pacific Northwest).

The word can have meanings from "'good,' to 'strong,' 'best,' 'powerful,' 'ultimate' and 'first rate.' Something can be Skookum meaning 'cool' or skookum can be 'tough.'

I poked at your profile.

Cante Tinza is siouan for Strong Heart.
[Chuntay (heart) Teenza (strong).] The Strong Hearts are an Oglala warrior society.
