New Name Let’s meet again, for the first time. If you could introduce yourself to strangers by another name for just one day, what would it be and why?


Chyenne. It was the name that my mother was going to name me, until I was born and had dark hair and dark eyes - then she feared that I'd be picked on for being, as it was known at the time "a dirty native (Indian)".

Irony, many years later, we find out that the family is Mi'kmaq in a major way, and that view has changed a lot in 20 some years.
