[QUOTE="Dawnno, post: 586451, member: 10171"]I know, digging up a string a month++ old is heresy. But, ... I bought a 1990s version at the reservation and got a nice photocopied piece of paper with it explaining the meaning of the pictographs. It goes like this (starts with the # [long before Twitter] and end with what looks like a bowl of hot soup (half circle with upward lines), each of the 12 pictographs being on a different line below: "on a given date which is the flying of the geese the Indians go on trail to meet the white men and with the same through [thought] in mind to agree to smoke the pipe of peach and present treaty furs to meet terms of the treaty and wish white man good luck." "Each year at Thanksgiving time, the members of the Pamunky Indian Tribe journey to Richmond to present certain wild game to the Governor of Virginia in accordance with the terms of the treaty of 1646, between the Indians and the representatives of the King of England. This is the story of the treaty." All historically true. Whether the pictographs were a good marketing ploy, don't know.[/QUOTE]
