JJ, tell Pepe and his countrymen to put on owl costumes and go hang out down on the Pine Ridge Reservation for a while.

Ogalalas are a rough group. An archaeology friend of mine says they still have the spirit of Crazy Horse in them.

To explain, here's where the owl costume comes into play: unlike the Ancient Greeks, Native Americans (at least on the upper Plains) view the Owl as bad ju-ju. In fact, they want nothing to do with it, an incredibly bad omen alive or dead. Very rarely will medicine men touch them either. It's a long story, but a Plains Indian Native friend of mine jested and said, "You ought to don an owl costume, and head down to Pine Ridge [Reservation] to see how long you last..." Back in the day, Pine Ridge was once considered the third most dangerous place in America, just behind Gotham and, I think, a portion of Chicago.
