Hey Takoma,

"Takoma" is from a native American word meaning "high up near heaven."

I'm from the Confederated Tribes of the Colville reservation in Washington State. Some of the last names there are: Everybody-Talks-About, Bearcub, Red Thunder. These are the names with Native names as their origin. Most Natives here though have French and Scotch-Irish last names because of the fur trade. Those names are Finley, Marchand, Toulou, Stensgar, Seymour, Swan.
