In a message dated 3/21/01 7:34:30PM, you write:

<< Something odd just occurred to me. Both the Waha family and the Foundchild
 family show some very strange patterns.  

 First, dad is basically AWOL. Storm Bull is off nursing his wounds and  Foundchild's dad is unknown.>>

You are right of course. Those Waha worshippers are mummy's boys.  

<< Second, mom is nearly as important in the family as the son. Eiritha is
 queen of the plains. Helpwoman fills her role for female worshippers of  Foundchild.>>

I would say more important.  

 <<Third, the son never gets himself a wife. Waha and Foundchild are both  unmarried. In fact, they hang out with mom _way_ too much. Sounds Oedipal  to me>>

Think Ronnie Corbett in "Sorry" for your normal Waha impala rider.
