A friend loaned this book recently. Thought some would find this quote interesting:
"This very day there is a young woman, Calf Pipe Woman, who in the company of another young lady is walking about our country. These two can change themselves into red people, white people, black people, brown people, or yellow people. They can speak any language and become whatever nationality they wish to. I can think of no reason for them being here other than the probability that the end of the world is not far off. So prepare. I have spoken. And all of this is so." Pg. 197

Note that Frank spoke Lakota. He was trained as a Sioux medicine man. He only knew the teachings of his tradition, none of our modern language and theories.
