The first thing you'd probably ask Lisa Marteau is: Why would people want to hang from hooks pierced through their skin?

At least they had religious and practical reasons to undergo this rite (they believed it “made the buffalo come”.)
If this is what it took to get the Buffalo to show up then the Buffalo were a bunch of jerks!

I have all the issues of AH from the 50s (when it was the Journal of Local and Regional History) to a few years after they lost Bruce Catton & Oliver Jensen, went softcover, and started repeating themselves.
