The Raven Mocker is the most dreaded of Cherokee witches
The most dreaded of all Cherokee witches is the Raven Mocker, who robs the dying of their life. A Raven Mocker can be of either sex, and
there is no real way to know one.
They usually look old and withered,
because they have added so many lives to their own, but it could be anyone.

Question:
Where is Sitting Bull buried?
--Submitted by Robby J.
Answer:
Sitting Bull rose to prominence as a leader of Indian resistance against the U.S. Army in the 1870s, which culminated in the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn. He and some of his Sioux followers fled to Canada after the battle, but he returned after five years and surrendered.Sitting Bull was killed in 1890 on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation while being arrested by Indian police. Since 1953, a dispute has raged between North Dakota and South Dakota over Sitting Bull's remains - an ironic situation, given Sitting Bull's disdain for white ideas about land ownership.
