PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Nokomis' name" |
When I heard her say her name I thought it was Nokomis, the mother of Hiawatha (see poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow). Of course that's the literary librarian in me...

1. "RE: Nokomis' name oops" |
Actually, she was Hiawatha's grandmother...By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water. There the wrinkled old Nokomis
Nursed the little Hiawatha,
Rocked him in his linden cradle,
Bedded soft in moss and rushes,
Safely bound with reindeer sinews;
Stilled his fretful wail by saying,
"Hush! the Naked Bear will hear thee!"
Lulled him into slumber, singing,
"Ewa-yea! my little owlet!
Who is this, that lights the wigwam?
With his great eyes lights the wigwam?
Ewa-yea! my little owlet!"

Yep, yep, yep. I knew that name was familiar. I had to recite that in front of the whole school when I was in 3rd or 4th grade (waaaaay back in the late 50's), but the 60's removed alot of those things from me. I'm still a wealth of useless information (unless I'm playing trivia games), however, and in truth I shouldn't have any brain cells left.

And what drives me nuts is when the other HG call her Nic for short. As if her name is Nicole or something.

Yep, me, too. I actually thought for a bit that perhaps it was a Wiccan name. No offense to the wiccans, btw, just what I thought might be the origin of the name she had taken for herself. Plus, might have been interesting were it so. (I myself am a practicing Christian, but find some other practices interesting, just not for me)

Maybe she meant a name from the country of India, not Native American.

Again American Indian, but is that the right spelling? For the beach, I mean, king?
