I am not a gambler, however I nod my head at the irony of the casinos and also am glad that the Native American's are able to bring in some lucre as the seems to be the goal of so many in our nation.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-14008184674881388322011-05-26T11:13:07.278-04:002011-05-26T11:13:07.278-04:00Interesting story (as always) and a simply fabulou...Interesting story (as always) and a simply fabulous photograph.

We have Wyndott history in the Blue Mountain area so I am wondering; where, exactly is "their northern encampment"? A archeologist in this area, Charles Garrad, UofT has extensively studied the natives of this area, in particular The Petun who later (I believe) became the Wyndott. Love to learn about their Shamanic history. The outfit is to die for. Sad to hear about good ol' leatherlips; a true warrior. Sad to hear about his people turning on him for doing "witchcraft" as I am sure the Salem trials had something to do with this "change of heart". Seriously doubt the natives thought witchcraft were an abnormal part of the culture. Good/Bad as is similar in Zen Buddism not part of the lexicon perhaps?chiccorealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902834462795623856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-61830575602866739802011-05-26T10:25:04.894-04:002011-05-26T10:25:04.894-04:00A sad story.
