In the book, Running Bear was the grandson of Red Snake, but I could be mistaken as it's been awhile since I read it.

E gads that's a sticky wicket, eh what?

I'm not mistaken

Have this book in one of my lockers at work, I'll thumb through it tomorrow.

Neville, you based your last chance at spirituality on this ?

Yes, but there's more..other confirmations from entirely different sources since then.

But sticking with Running Bear for a moment. The second customer review here ;

George McMullen writes amazing accounts of lives of the Indians.The Indian spirits come to him and tell him their stories of their lives. It's amazing and quite thrilling to hear about. Anything and everything this man writes is worth looking into.

P'S, i have never even owned or read the book.

It's a pretty interesting read, but what threw me off was the Indian in plains attire and adornment pictured on this book's cover. Stereotypical Indian that in no way looks like a Wendat.

Well you know about it now. Perhaps you were channeling McMullen's character 'Running Bear' if that sort of thing is possible.

The George I see from time to time in my Meditations has a Medium Blue White Chequed Shirt Largish squares about 2 or 3 inches. He wears Jeans has no feathers or such but has two pleated locks either side of his head. And he don't shower too often, I figure because showers were as and when you could get them back then.

Ive known about it for years, just never brought a copy, preferring as I do to read Hanta Yo by Ruth Beebe Hill, because that is at least actual documentation.

I just watched this and ice tea almost shot from my nostrils. A man can drown that way.

More like how a Wendat would appear from those earlier times -

New Age is more religion like and tastes bitter, nothing but greedy men are behind it. The Native Americans beliefs are more better obviously and has a respectable taste.
