American Indians of Arizona Honor Bush With Ceremonial Name:
President Bush was invited to address a major gathering of the American
Indian Nation in Arizona. He spoke for almost an hour on his future plans
for increasing every Native American's present standard of living. He
referred to his career as Governor of Texas, how he had signed "YES" 1,237
times - for every Indian issue that came to his desk for approval.
Although the President was vague on the details of his plan, he seemed
most enthusiastic about his future ideas for helping his "red brothers."
At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the President with a
plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle.
The proud President then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter later inquired to the group of chiefs of how they came to
select the new name given to the President.
They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of
szhit that it can no longer fly
