It’s not a likeness for Chief Black Hawk, but it’s also not a crude caricature. I had an advisor/medicine man, a fellow Eastern Apache (a rarity in Los Angeles), tell me to not get too hung up on authenticity, or purity relating to ceremony.

His feeling was that so much was lost, we should not take offense to what is not discernibly offense. Sadly he thought that some day those things may be all that was left of us.

Stong good karma to the injured. My heart hurts for all the families and friends. Jets, Bachawks, what a wonderful, caring gesture. Thank you.

Heading to GoFundMe.

imagine the percentage of families, or just individuals in those towns who are going to be affected by this. I'm sure 90% of Humboldt has or had some connection to the team. Junior hockey is Friday Night Lights to small Canadian towns - it's a big deal.

Absolutely awful thing to happen. God help whoever was responsible for this.
