I assume so.  I know that the Kaw form k?iN means 'to pack or carry on the
back.'  It shows up in a few of the Dhegiha clan names, too.  Incidentally,
there are some good analogs for some of these clans throughout the family.
Here are just a scant few.

KAW
ke k?iN    'turtle carriers'
miN k?iN    'sun (or blanket?) carriers'

OMAHA
iNkesabe  (sp???) 'black shoulder'
