I don't know if I buy this, or not. But, how about the very similar
article I've found--as posted below? Rather different angle,
however.....

Obama's New Name
The Associated Press
CROW AGENCY, Mont.?Democrat Barack Obama got a brand-new name as he
courted native Americans in the West.
The presidential candidate was adopted as an honorary member of the Crow
nation, and given the name Awe Kooda Bilaxpak Kuuxshish that translates
as "One who helps people throughout the land."
"What an enormous honor this is," said Obama, occasionally stumbling to
pronounce the complex native American names.
"I'm still working on it," he said. "I was just adopted into the tribe,
so I'm still working on it."
Obama has actively courted the backing of native Americans throughout
the region.
"One of the things I've made a point in doing is meeting tribal leaders
everywhere I go," Obama said. "The government to government relationship
is going to be a top priority of my administration."
Obama's adoptive parents in the tribe are Harford and Mary Black Eagle.
"Barack Black Eagle," mused Obama. "That is a good name."
Obama said growing up in Hawaii gave him gave him a sensitivity to
minority issues.
"Where I grew up there weren't a lot of black families, so I know what
it feel like to be an outsider," said Obama. "Now that I'm a member of
the family I won't break my commitment to my brothers and sisters."
