My name is also Kahsonk, which is my Tlingit name.

I had to Google that term as I wasn't familiar with the word Tlingit: now I understand and I am impressed.  Smile

My first name is ... EDWINA!  Nah, just kidding.  It's Jane.



Sometimes I goof with my son Eddie and call him Edwina.
It p**ses him off.

My name is Edwin Albert Erwin,  every year in high school, when the teacher would call roll and got to me I would get, "this must be a typographical error.

I was always Eddie when growing up and that's still what I'm called by friends and family.

Actually, if we include my confirmation name, we go from Joseph Louis to Joseph Louis Paul.  I haven't been to church much since I received my confirmation, so I usually forget the "Paul."

I am not named after anyone in my father's side. In fact, I don't talk to anyone on that side of the family and haven't since I was five. In fact, my father wanted to name me Wadsworth.

My mother named me Anthony, after her then-favorite Days Of Our Lives character.

I had to Google that term as I wasn't familiar with the word Tlingit: now I understand and I am impressed.  Smile

As did I. I had heard the term before but didn't realize the Tlingit territories were that expansive, and very coastal. Is it true that Tlinigit lineage is traced maternally?

Well, we're pretty great in general.

Yes, traditional Tlingit society is matrilineal. It's easiest to picture if you realize the clan is the most important societal atom, said clan being defined by who your mother is.

In this thread, which is interested in fathers, traditional Tlingit society would be the anomaly. The father of a child was always outside the clan, so had a decreased importance. In fact, it was not the father who was responsible for the upbringing of the child. That responsibility went to the mother's brothers, who were responsible for teaching the child. The father was always important, but his place in the child's upbringing was always more distant.

I should say that I was raised in the traditional American nuclear family. But all of the old Tlingit traditions are still at work, just modified. So the importance of uncles is still at work.

I also mentioned that Kahsonk is my name, but it isn't mine in the way you might think your's is. I am the current person who is referred to that as, but it isn't mine to do with as I please. The name is clan property, and it's a measure of respect for our family that is was bestowed upon me. When I die, if we can keep tradition alive, it will go on to somebody else.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
