- Naming traditions differed from tribe to tribe.
- A person's had a number of names throughout his life.
- Many NW Coast Native Americans were named after things in nature.
- Legal names are given, but Native names are earned.
- The names carry certain powers and responsibilities. For example, the power of the deer is it awarness, keeness, and protective nature.
We first looked at character traits and then NW coast animals that are said to represent these traits.
What is your Native American character name? Why did you choose that name?
chosing the names were really fun and I ended up with FREINDLY OTTER BECAUSE I think I HAVE ALL THE QUALITYS from ISABEL [THE NEW ONE]

David, What do you mean you wonder what happens when you pick jobs. You all have had opportunities to perform your jobs while creating and items for the clans. Jobs will also play an important role when we need to problem solve.
