Native American:
A warrior who had more than he needed
would make a feast. He went around and
invited the old and needy. . . The man
who could thank the food�some worthy old
medicine man or warrior�said, ". . . .
look to the old, they are worthy of old
age; they have seen their days and
proven themselves. With the help of the
Great Spirit, they have attained a ripe
old age. At this age the old can predict
or give knowledge or wisdom, whatever it
is; it is so. At the end is a cane. You
and your family shall get to where the
cane is."
