Star Wars 8
Sounds promising deleon. I didn't see an expected date when a film would be released. 2019 is when the last (Star Wars IX) movie will be released, they are not associated with that movie.

Star Wars 8
The story of Luke, Darth Vader, the Dark Side, the Force, the journey to becoming an adult while rebelling from the father, these ideas may be light-weight mythology, but their inclusion is why I think the series was successful. More abstract or veiled mythology can be boring without good...- brightleaf

Some politics is allowed in the legislation section of this forum. I believe the rule is to keep it factual and considerate of the fact that there are many different people on this forum.

Like all history what we know is not always what happened. I believe Chief Seattle was a great man and powerful speaker. The versions of Chief Seattle's speech are varied to suit different needs.

Tobacco Secret Sauce?
I looked back for the snuff recipes and did not find them. All I found was general flavor notes, nothing specific. If you're interested in English snuff this is a good read.

No. The point of the Wovoka post was to give people a clue of the originating thoughts behind the Ghost Dance.

"I wish Western Civilization would collapse already."

I intentionally withhold my biography, I will give you that. That choice is mine.

I have read many books (20 or so) by Native Americans as well. I don't mean to imply they didn't learn to write in school (although some are dictated.)
