Kyrie Irving named Little Mountain by Sioux Tribe - the name just fits

Kyrie Irving was honored by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe yesterday, and Justin Quinn wrote about Kyrie's heritage-based connection with the tribe, and his support of them.

Irving's sister, Asia, was given the name Buffalo Woman by the tribe and Kyrie was given the name Little Mountain. This is one of the coolest happenings (amazing that "cool" is back from the 50's) I have heard about in some time. Acknowledging his Sioux heritage - celebrating it - and using his celebrity status in such a positive way is simply terrific.
