'''Broken Claw''' is the name I use for most of my online activity, as a tribute to my native American ancestry. The name is derived from the traditional naming practices of my paternal grandfather's legacy, which is the Eagle clan of the [[Otoe tribe|Otoe-Missouria]] tribe of Oklahoma. (The name has no connection with the [[Brokenclaw]] character from the James Bond series of novels.) It is not my ''real'' Indian name, because it was not given to me by the clan elder. My paternal grandmother's ancestry was the [[Christian Munsee|Munsee]] tribe of Kansas. Most of my editing at Wikipedia involves these two tribes. However, I was born and raised in [[Lebanon County, Pennsylvania]] among my mother's extended family, so I also contribute to Wikipedia in regards to that locale. |
