“Wakinyan”
[From my new “Proud, Strong and Beautiful” Collection: https://opensea.io/collection/proudstrongbeautiful]
Wakinyan is a Native American name meaning “thunder.”
Although this Lakota word is most often interpreted to mean “thunder,” it may also be a blend of the word “wahka,” meaning “sacred,” and “kinyan,” meaning “wings,” “thunder spirits” or “thunderbirds.”
In Sioux mythology, Wakinyan, pronounced wah-keen-yahn, is a powerful sky spirit who takes on the form of a giant bird.
Whenever it flaps its wings, it creates the sound of thunder.
