A Boy Called Slow

Tatan'ka Iyota'ke! We are just starting our lessons about Native Americans. To get us started we read a book called, A Boy Called Slow. In the book we learned that the Native Americans had very weird names such as Tatan'ka Wanji'la,  Tatan'ka Winyu'ha Najin, and Tatan'ka Psi'ca.  In the book the names they gave family had to do with their character. In the book there was a little boy named Slow. He was named that because in the beginning of the book everything he did he did it slow. At the end of the book after he fought the warriors he came back and was named Tatan'ka Iyota'ka which meant Sitting Bull. It was a good book and very funny.
