What happens when you look into a mirror? It reflects what is looking into the mirror.
That's deeeeepppppppp......Dude, it's a mirroorrrrr, that is what mirrors do.

Steve is back from helping Smokey Bear, and I see again, all the pow wow people be using stuff and got no idea where it comes from.

This is from when animals could talk. Mirror boards come from before the BIA gave us Indian's those card's y'all are always talking about. The Indians were geting their checks that Indians get ever month. You know the ones I am talking about. Well whenever the went to the bank to cash the checks, they always asked for identification and they never had any. The People had a big meeting and decided the most powerful of them to go up on the hill. Wapache was sent up on the hill and after he had been up there for 2 days, his spirit guide, Brucee goosee came to him with a mirror and taught him how to make a mirror board and how to use it. Wapachee came back down and taught the people how to make the mirror boards and their use. On the next check day, Wapache and all the people had their mirror boards and were walking to town. On their way to town they passed some SE culture indians. They hadn't taught us how to dance yet, ennit tom, but they liked how the mirror board looked so the took it back to the SE villages and at the their next dance everyone had one. You know how everyone copies.

Oh yeah, the meaning of the mirror board. Well Wapache was the first in line to cash his check and just like every other time, the bank teller asked Wapache, "Do you have something that says you are Wapache?" Well this time Wapache whips up the mirror board and looks in to it and says, "Yep, that's ME." Bank teller gives him his money and the rest is history. We been collecting our checks every month, ever since then.

Aho, Steve has spoken...
