It's always good to inspire healthy fear in the neighbors. The Navajo 
refer to themselves as Dine while Navajo supposedly comes from a Hopi word 
for head bashers. 

Most tribes term for themselves is a word that translates to 'the real 
people'. Most Anglo names came from asking a tribe with friendly relations 
what the pople on the other side of the ridge were called. 'Big bellied, 
pierced nose snakes!'

I'm not suggesting torture but making life very difficult for illegal 
aliens instead of handing them EDT cards might suggest things weren't all 
that bad back in wherever. Even Adams caught on eventually.
