He has a great outfit!

Well made with great detail!

I have posted for an ID on Facebook and I am hoping you, my blogger friend,
might be able to help! So if you know who he is, please let me know.




OK, Thanks For Looking!

Last Purchase for 2015!

Hey Gang!

I think it fitting that my last purchase of 2015 which falls on the last day
of November be a Native American addition to my collection!  With that
being said, I purchase a GI Joe Valor vs Venom Iron Knife.   I have wanted
him for a while but he was kinda pricey for a Joe.  I final found one in my
price range.  Also, I have been getting rid of dolls and action figures
I didn't need or want and have been able to do so.  So with there being some
room around here, I made my purchase.  He wouldn't be here until Dec. 7th.
I will post some pictures then.

Here is stock photo from GI Joe!


I am hoping I won't have to re-body him.  From what I read, the uniform is cloth. 
I am also hoping that the gauntlets are removable.  If not, I have some extra Joe
bodies somewhere.  

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Edward Running Bear

Hey Gang!

This is Edward Running Bear, PhD. He came to
Johnston for several reasons. There was 
controversy over part of the land on which the military 
base was built. Because of this, the base had
been closed for over 80 years. In a Supreme Court
decision, this portion of land was returned to the
Iroquois Nation and a settlement was to be paid.
One part of the settlement, a Native American
museum was to be established. It was decided by
the Iroquois and Lenape the museum would be in 

Johnston.
The second part of the settlement was the
establishment of a scholarship for people of
Native American descent. Chief Running Bear was
here to make sure these things happened.

Another reason for his move was that a university
would be established here. Johnston University a
division of the University of Penn. Edward was
offered a Dean's position teaching American
history from a multicultural point of view without
calling it anything else but "American History".
This was considered too controversial for many
other colleges.

Finally, he moved here because the Iroquois and
Native American settlement was large enough
to have horses!

Here he is with his horses!
(I found these guys for a dollar at the thrift store.
I knew I could work them into this story.)
The black one is Coal and the tan one Rain
Dancer.

He would have hated to have to leave his horses
behind.

Stay tuned for more!
