Muskwa didn't get a name until he almost four months old. We just couldn't think of anything that suited him. He was supposed to be Heyoka--which means crazy clown in Sioux, but it just didn't fit. The dog who was meant to be Heyoka didn't show up for about five years. Muskwa was eventually named by a medicine man who told us he had a bear spirit. Muskwa means bear in Cree.

He still answers very well to "HEY YOU NO!!!"
