The estrangement between civilizations and civilizations is even deeper than between two enemies.

Just as Indians can't understand why white people are all called 'Tom' or 'George,' white people don't understand why Indians call them weird names.

On the other side of the Pacific, there are also many things that whites can't understand, why do people have a long braid on their heads? How can a person not believe in any religion? How can a man eat with two sticks......

This kind of confusion has never been understood by the white people.

In another time and space, until two hundred years later, when the country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean leapt into modernity and regained its rightful place in history, everyone understood at once!

Something that has not been understood for two hundred years, in aircraft carriers, rockets, UAVs...... In front of these things, the IQ of white people seems to suddenly become higher, their hearts become broader, and they understand!

Da Sanko Witko never imagined that he would become a journalist or a lawyer, and if life had to do so, he would probably be a journalist or a lawyer with a gun.

He never thought of wasting his energy on grinding with others or using small favors to win people's hearts, when he needed friends, he only needed to show his worth, and naturally he would have friends.

Just like now, he placed the corpse of a grizzly bear on the school playground that was unprecedentedly large, and everyone who had mocked him was silent, and everyone who didn't know him now knew him!

Between civilizations and civilizations, as between people.

The so-called 'understanding' is never a deliberate attempt to flatter, but a kind of respect that others 'have to do'.

……

The Indians want to change their name, it can be casual and simple.

For the past 300 years, the Indians have changed their names in a casual and casual way, as simple as a schoolboy writing a typo in his workbook, quickly changing it to another one, finding it wrong again, smearing it and changing it, and then finding that it is still wrong, and continuing to change it...... Until he changed his life to the point of devastation!

An Indian has to change his name many times in his life.

When he was a little Indian in his teens, he probably never imagined how many times he would encounter ups and downs, despair, sadness and pain in the years that followed his life, even if there was occasional joy, only to prove that it was only an illusion.

Changing a name once means a life, and unfortunately, every Indian has to go through a different life several times in his life.

Every life is a chaotic struggle, a hysterical escape, and the sorrow of not being able to survive but not to die!

The years of the Indians were nothing more than rushing to death in a hurry, so as to finish their sloppy life as soon as possible.

If it weren't for the fact that 3 years ago, Turtledove announced the establishment of the United Indian Emirates in White Rock City, I'm afraid everyone in this world would think that the humans on the continent of America have been living so sloppily for tens of thousands of years!

Ignorance!

Ridiculous!

Hopeless!

……

In reality, however, the name change was no less than a new event for the Indians.

Whether it is the Sioux in the north, the Cheyenne in the middle, or the Choctaw in the south...... They all have a ceremonial system on how to hold a name change ceremony.

The Sioux Flame Alliance is not just about lighting seven torches, the Apache Dance of the Dead is not meant to be bloody and terrifying, and the exaggerated and hideous images on the totem poles are not meant to scare children...... All this is just a few clues left after a civilization of tens of thousands of years has been destroyed to pieces.

Like a bunch of barren hills in the desert of the Western Regions, if all memories of it are annihilated, it is just a scenery where shepherds drive goats past, but in fact, who would have thought that it was also a country with a population of millions and a prosperous capital?

Fortunately, three years ago, with the loud sound of 300 salutes outside Baishi City, those fragmented pages were glued back together, and the memories that had long been sunk to the bottom of the sea were re-packed.

The name change of the Indians, according to the Book of America, according to the different customs of each place, there are at least 7 different rituals.

Although Da Sanko Witko is based in Choctaw State, he is actually Sioux and if he decides to change his name, he will need to start preparing at least a year in advance.

He had to go through a winter fast, and then on the day of the summer when the sun was at its highest, he would invite the whole tribe to come over. Then prepare a huge square, and if he does not dare to look directly at the sun while dancing, he needs to prepare at least a totem pole 2 meters high, and the totem pole should be hung with precious offerings such as feathers and precious stones.

He needs to dance with a tambourine to the sound of the prayers of the crowd until he awakens the spirit in his heart and completes communication with the spirit he believes in.

Such a ritual usually lasts 3 days.

The sun would witness what he had done, and the priest would announce his new name to the crowd at the end of the ceremony.

Every Indian values his name and never scribbles it as white people think.

Because the name he chose was either his proudest fruit or his strongest desire.

'Red Cloud' is called Red Cloud because he wants to be as gorgeous as Red Cloud;

The reason why 'sitting cow' is called sitting cow is because he wants to be as strong as sitting cow;

The reason why 'turtledove' is called turtledove is because he once wanted to be as free as turtledove;

'Da Sankoh Witko' was named because of his father, who, when he was very young, had seen a herd of fiery horses running across the endless grasslands.

- Da Sanko Witko decided that from now on, he was going to collect his sacrifices.

He'd already thought of the name he wanted to take!

……

"Da Sanko Witko!"

Not long after the principal left, he saw the old smoker hurriedly running to him and called him: "Please come here, our final exam is over, but the teachers have unanimously agreed to award you a full score again!" ”

The old smoker handed over a red ribbon, draped it around Da Sankoh Witko's neck, and took him by the hand and hurried towards the administration building.

"You are our pride, Da Sanko Witko! Wait a minute, and that honorable lady will personally present you with a certificate of completion! ”

Da Sanko Witko had already guessed that the identity of the 'captain' was probably unusual, but seeing that the school was so serious, he thought that perhaps her status was more noble than he had guessed.

- He wasn't so stupid as to think that a giant bear alone would make an exception for the old diehards at the school to award him a certificate of completion!

"Mr. Fern Leaf," said Da Sanko Witko as he broke away from the old snort's rough palm, "I wasn't distracted in your class, I just didn't remember what you were talking about for a while. But I remember now! ”

The old smoker was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter - let's hurry over!" ”

"No, Fern Leaf Sensei, I think what you said is very important," said Da Sanko Witko, "what you said at the time was - the Americans, this is our name, and I am willing to dedicate my life to it without reservation, even if it is broken to pieces!" ”
