There is a quiet a bit of intermarriage between whites and the Lakota resulting in many tribe members having European last names, it is very common.

I don't doubt it at all. All I said was that his name didn't sound very Indian. And since they have European last names, they wouldn't be Indian last names, right?

Here's the deal. The Sioux never had last names, Europeans do. Everyone on the reservation has a European last name or an adopted one made up of English words like Means, Pelletier, Robideaux or something like Whirlwind Soldier, Goodshield, Afraid of His Horse, Crow Dog . Last names amongst the Sioux are a product of European influence.
