Good Morning! I did not intend to cover such a big topic, but I want June to be focused on Safety & Security - so fun is a bit of a stretch!
Journal Questions:
* What does safety and security look/feel like to you?
* What do control and responsibility mean to you?
* What is valued vs. valuable to you?
Big questions for big lessons as we move closer to the big stuff!!!
I tried to upload a photo of the info I talk about in the podcast. It just wasn’t clear enough to read.
CAUTION: EXTREMELY GRAHPHIC, do not read if you are sensitive!
Not one of the fifteen dead bodies was left whole. Heads were cut off. Arms and legs were chopped into pieces. Breasts were severed. Eyes were gouged out. And not even torsos were left entire.
The four living prisoners, three adults and a young girl who suffered the real terrors of Indian warfare, because the two men were staked out in the embers of their burned homes, and living coals were edged about them while their extremeties were painfully hacked off. Their genitals were amputated dragged across eyes from which the lids had been cut away, and then stuffed into their mouths. Their eyes were then blinded,and slowly they were roasted to death.
The third wife was saved until last and even the official reports of the massacre refrained from spelling out in detail what she suffered as it was too horrible to write.
The young girl was 12 and she was taken, raped repeatedly while the young braves would burn her nose and ears off slowly.
I can’t even imagine any of this as real, but this is not the only time or place I have seen this.
Empire of the Summer Moon is a good overview of the Comanche LINK TO BUY
Okay, enough GROSS and horror . . .
