Acaraho Otaktay
One of my recurring characters in the Jim Buchanan Novels is Acaraho. He is part Cherokee and part Crow but I struggled with giving him a last name. Rather than go with his current last name which I won't mention here I have decided to use Otaktay as his last name. Otaktay is a Souix name so Acaraho will now be part Crow and part Souix and a relative of Willie Otaktay, another recurring character in my novels. Acaraho is Alma Twofavors' boyfriend and in Montana Harvest he is instrumental in saving someone's life. Then in The Killing Zone he is falsely accused of murder. In the Crow language the definition of Acaraho is "Mountain" and in the Souix language the definition of Otaktay is "Kills Many".
