Re: Translation of a name
You can't translate a name into "Native American", because it isn't a language. It's like saying "European" or "African".
Also, I believe it's very difficult to translate a name to a Native American language. Names from European languages haven't got any equivalents in these languages, since Native Americans often got their names from a special event or weather phenomenon at their birth and in many tribes a person changed his/her name later in life.*A meow massages the heart.*
