So many words in different languages are pronounced the same, but mean different things. For example, in Plains Sioux, vegan is pronounced the same, but it means "bad hunter" .

I grew up on a reserve out west. I was the white guy. Waseegin. I also had a good Indian name given to me at about ten. By my friends Byron and Casey, Shingasusu. Great White Eagle of the mountain they told me it meant in Stoney.

A month or two later I found out what it really meant. Dog's dink. And f I go there today, ones my age will laugh and call me Shingasusu. I laugh too. I am never called that around other white people, it was an inside thing, only my "tribe" knew about it or what it meant. I kind of liked it, showed I had been accepted I always figured.
