A little frontier boy was thrown from the back of a covered wagon as it traveled west. A small tribe of wandering Indians found him and raised him. Many years later, as a young man, the Indians came across another wagon full of people heading west. The folks in the wagon saw that he was a white man living with the Indians. They asked him how that came about and also what the name of the tribe was. He told them of falling from the wagon when he little and that the Indians had raised him, and the name of tribe was the Fugowi tribe and that they a were nomadic tribe and their chief had led them all over the west. The settlers asked if he was sure that was name of the tribe as they had never heard of that name before. The young man said he thought that was right name because every time the chief would come to top of a bluff, he would shield his eyes with his hand and say, "We're the Fugowi?"

The name you are thinking of is 'Sioux'. This is a word originally used by the French trappers to describe the Native Americans they encountered. Sioux means 'enemy' in French. For this reason, many members of the 'Sioux' tribe prefer to go by their own tribe name - 'Lakota'. Others don't have a problem with the label 'Sioux' and continue to use it.

You know how some people can make you laugh everytime? I knew a guy like that. He used to tell that story. His body language and facial expressions. What a riot. I haven't seen him in years. Thanks for making me smile! =)

I guess an Indian would rate that as a "mini-haha."

Well if he wasn't a typical man and asked for directions, he'd know.
