Cranium Imploded Inward Bison Ungulate Leaping Region

That title is a fancy way of saying "Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump", which is where we visited today.
My wife suggested that we go to a museum, so I figured I haven't been to this place in 22 years, why not?  It was neat, and we went at a very good time too.

THE CREATION
The Bible says that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, including man and his wife.  This is God's own testimony, and I heard a VERY interesting bit of "Indian Legend" today that made me elbow my wife and say "Hey, did you hear what he just said???"
An old Native fellow was leading a group of young native kids around the museum, telling them about the exhibits, and expanding on them in a way that no one else probably could have.  I liked this guy from the start, he was smart and engaging, trying to get the interest of the kids who looked like they were about Junior High-ish.
The old man started describing the origins of the buffalo, and how the buffalo was created for the native people by "Napi", the legendary name for their creator god.  Then, he went on to describe how Napi had created man, and then took a rib from the man and created "rib-woman".  I'm not making this up.
The old man probably believed the old story was a legend.  The truth is, many old legend begin from a true story, and are passed down through generations in oral stories, in this case, at least 6,000 years worth of generations.  The story in Genesis 1, and the legend of "Napi" are the same story.  Many cultures have this same story, and also the legend of the Great Flood.  Most modern anthropologists believe that both the Scriptures, and these cultures obtained these legends and stories from a common source, or that the Scriptures borrowed the "creation legend", and claimed it was original.  There is very little evidence for this point of view, other than the fact that the legends do exist, and they mirror the Scriptures accounts of history.

THE TRUTH
The North American Natives carried with them the legend of Napi, whose name means "trickster".  I suspect that Napi is actually Satan the devil, who has perverted the nature of the true God among these old peoples.  I noticed that there is a lot of idolatry, the totems, the shamans, the rituals and luck charms.  Many of the other legends of Napi show him to be temperamental, and deceitful.  Who does that remind you of?  Not the True Creator of the Scriptures.

I suppose that God has a plan for the natives.  I can see that they are sliding into an abyss, no thanks to our government giving them $10 billion every year.  I can also see that this legend of Napi would be a great way to introduce the True God to these people, and reverse this decline.  I pray that the right person comes around to make this happen.

Perhaps some of you were expecting a garden blog, and you're a bit bewildered by my religious ravings.  If it's not your thing, just ignore it, but this blog is my life and my thoughts, and I have a lot of thoughts about a lot of things!

PS
I'm very close to launching the Sunset-Meadows podcast, with the purchase of my itty-bitty microphone meant for the iPhone headphone socket.  Hopefully the sound quality will be good, I will do my best to filter with software.
The Sunset-Meadows podcast will be a lot like the blog, but more instructive.  Once the farm actually has some product to sell, I will be promoting the product through the podcast, at least a little bit anyway.  If you don't want to buy the products, the podcast will be free regardless.  I can promise that it will be informative, humorous, helpful, and very, very controversial.
See ya!
