sethrakSo far? I and Tom noticed a section of the exhibit A Song For the Horse Nation that featured dance sticks in the shape of horses lost in battle, specifically two that were lost by warriors at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. He helped me come up with a loose concept, and I took some notes based on the exhibited art and questions I'd like to answer in the paper.
(It is fiendishly hard to get Wikipedia or Google to give me a firm answer on when the Lakota got horses. I am curious as to just how new an acquisition horses were when these sticks were made, and how this might have affected the amount of veneration horses received.)
Then I checked the online conferences again to see if my prof had responded to my request for help. Heh. Apparently fate wants me to do this paper on dance sticks, because he mentioned the horse aspect too.
Unfortunately fate doesn't want my googlefu to bear much fruit.
I have at least a little stuff bookmarked though, and am decamping to bed. I can't think clearly this late without caffeine.
Yeah. Once this kludged together paper is done, I am going straight to work on the second essay, so I have enough time to work out any and all kinks sooner than three days before due.
