    I just want to note that once when I saw an indigenous dancer
    at the Arts and Culture Centre here in St. John’s, Newfoundland
    and he was wearing an eagle feather headdress and had his
    back to me, the resultant cone of feathers reminded me of the
    (higher dimensional) tunnelling beyond the sun that I observed
    during my sun stare of September 5, 1991 in Vancouver, BC.

    Actually I can’t remember if it was a headdress or if he was just
    using feathers in his dance and they briefly formed a cone.
    (I don’t have a very good visual memory.)

    And of course I don’t recommend that anyone stare at the sun,
    I didn’t suffer eye damage only because I am extremely nearsighted
    and had discarded my glasses, so the focus would have formed
    off my retina, and it was brief, and I was inspired and manic and
    may have had narrowed pupils, and it was not long before sunset.

    But the Lakota Sun Gazing Dance may commemorate a similar
    past event, or more than one.

    I wonder if Sarah McLachlan’’s birth mom is Qalipu Mi’kmaq?
    (Her song Into the Fire partly inspired my sun stare.)

    Also note that I just made an update to my Salmon on the Thorns page.
