Some of the men returned back to their village discouraged and hungry. One young man said he would stay behind a little while longer to find game. Two days went by and the young man became ill from hunger. As he lay by his camp fire, he watched this aro:sen (sq...

Fundamental to the well being of all humans is the need to identify oneself with a specific name and to have that name acknowledged within the family, the clan and the community. To assume a name is to assert individuality, to express uniqueness, to affirm continuity. What we are becomes who we are.
