He's beautiful.
My favorite "Indian Name" is
"Skookumchuck." LOL! It's such a funny word!
It's a river down near Mt. St. Helen's. : ) *shrugging* You could call him Chuck for short. ; P

How bout Sequim? (pronounced "squim") It's cute.

Or how bout you just send him to my house to live? hee hee

What that means is that "Hinto" means blue, in the Dakota language. It's possible that the person who put that on their website meant "Lakota".

pixiee....hey...If it would be only me...I would of course choose skookumchuckles...lol...but it's the kids choice...and they just don't like your choice :(

Nashoba (Naa-Show-Baa) which means "wolf" and is from the Choctaw Indian

Ohanzee which means "shadow" and is Sioux


Kajika (Kah-gee-kaa) which means "walks without sound"

No, "hinto" means blue.

Dakota means friend, apparently.

The person who typed "Dakota" may have meant "Lakota", as in "Lakota Sioux". I don't know if "Dakota" is also the name of a tribe.

dang...I like Nashoba or Kajika too...
shadow is cool...but it's hard to yell. LOL

embear...I'll take him on the trail after he's trained. should be fun.

Okay...got it! Dakota means friend.
Cameron likes Dakota alot.it's easy to remember...but we'll see...

From the "Alaskan/Eskimo/Inuit" page on that lowchenaustralia.com site

I like:
Tikaani = wolf
Suka= fast
Siku= ice
Qilaq= sky or heaven
Naartok= obese
Kesuk= water/sky

LOL! or
Naga= No!

I think of all those, I like Siku the best tho. I would imagine it is pronounced "see-koo" and I like how that sounds.

Yeah, I liked them too. And since Huskies are from areas of Eskimos/Inuits, it seemed appropriate.
