I a drama teacher in San francisco . I am collaberating w/ the music teacher writing plays from folk tales . The 4th /5th graders studie american historie not from the lens of the "white importance" but from many cultures and what Nothern european domince has done to these cultures (most) One of the plays this year is being written from the storie of " Stone boy..." ( Lakota tale) There are very few names in the storie however and (finally to the point ) my question is how would i do i go about finding names ..? From what i know and have been reading ...names ( as well as the tales are scared and personal to families .. I do nott wan to do injustice by " creating " names
thank you for your time ... jana
