- Title
The Names of the Wyandot.
- Authors
Ingram, Rebekah R.
- Abstract
"The Names of the Wyandot" by John Steckley is a book that explores the personal naming conventions of the Wyandot Indigenous people. It provides linguistic and cultural analysis of Wyandot personal names, discussing the evolution of these naming conventions over time. The book also addresses gender bias in the recording of Wyandot names and examines the names given to non-Indigenous individuals who interacted with the Wyandot. While the book may be challenging for those unfamiliar with the Wyandot language, it serves as a valuable resource for Iroquoian communities interested in their traditional naming practices.
