Thread Name: Movie with Frank Warner?
Subject: RE: Movie with Frank Warner?
Eventually, Johnson was seen as having tremendous personal medicine about him, and there were offerings made to him --- small sites where various charms and fetishes were left by members of the tribe as they passed by, all with the intention of giving an individual Crow brave the strength and the ability to best Johnson.--------Then, one day-----it was just OVER! They stopped going after Johnson, and it was acknowledged that he was a great man. It is an amazing story!

Are there parallels with modern times? Suicide bombers becoming martyrs who instantly ascend to a feast of 'pie in the sky'?? Our people burried at Arlington--much pomp and show--and thanked for the sacrifice? And Native Americans contemplating and appreciating and thanking the buffalo they are consuming? Kamikazee pilots? Raw liver eating? The host? The body of Christ? Pretty fascinating...

Just food for thought?? Or only thread creep??
