I my previous patch I wanted to give Sioux language names to the 
leaders too, removing their English translations. That fell through 
since some people found the new names too exotic and "difficult to 
remember." However, I thought the praxis in Freeciv was to give native 
names of leaders. North American Amerind names are apparently an 
exception. I'm obeying the majority's opinion, so if an Amerind chief 
is better known under his English translation names, that will also be 
his name in the game. For the Sioux language leader names added in this 
latest patch, I could find no English translation.

Tribe names as cities was rejected at the time because it was an 
unusual solution that needed more discussion. I hope this idea will be 
accepted this time!
