Indian Name

red wolf it was
patowatome-soix
this is what it means to me 
what does it mean to you?
to me it means the love of life
and blood that keeps me here
also means to never back down
and never cower in faer

My Darling was bred with blood of Blackfoot in his veins, and I born of the Cherokee. He touched my soul, he lifted up my spirit, especially when I was in times of darkness, and so by me he came the name Unequa or Spirit, in my ancestors tongue. A name holds much value in it, which is why it is important that it be given with thought. I enjoyed your write
