Plains Indians Names & Superbowl Talk from 2016

We begin the show today discussing the importance of names for plains indians, and how bad English translations enabled rival tribes to make fun of, for example, the famous Sitting Bull. We also go over naming traditions for plains boys and girls, and how a name could be sold, given away, or discarded at will.

Then with the superbowl just around the corner, we dig into the past all the way back to 2016 before we did the NativeTalk.net podcast, and share a classic segment of the superbowl by the numbers - and give you the chance to see how much worse we used to be at broadcasting. Yes, we have actually improved over time believe it or not.
