Does anyone know what is painted on Killdeer (movie version) just above the patchbox?? My only guess is it's the symbol (looks like a pie with six pieces) that Chingachgook has on his earing, and also on his chest in the Wyeth painting.
Next question is... what does it mean??

| It means, "Use Blackpowder Only." |
Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting
'...holy sh*t ...what a ride!'

| Probably something that Michael Mann saw in a German western, or a Crazy Crow catalog. Dream catcher, maybe? |

Maybe an Eastern tribes version of the medicine wheel, or maybe reference to the Iroquois league? Just a guess...  |

Where's Wes when you need him?
I, myself, do not know either!
But I will be looking into it. |
I live in my own little world - but that's okay, they know me here! |
