Walking Eagle noticed the tea colored water and thought it looked like whiskey....

The "tea color" is [usually] due to natural processes - like decaying vegetation in/under the water source -- producing tannic acids -- that do not affect the purity of the water source -- only the color.

This Walking Eagle soothsayer... or anyone else thereabouts...
Needs to read a science book...

He might start by getting off the reservation and getting a real life.

Which is great for you to emerse yourself in if you have a sunburn.

The lake at Moss Park in Orlando looks like someone filled it with Lipton tea because of the tannic acids. It was like that 25 years ago when I swam in it. Very common in Florida.
