The Mandan tribe of the Great Plains developed a belief during the plagues of disease brought on with the advancing settlers, that one day, there would be the Last Mandan.  Seated on his horse, Thunder, ever searching for the next threat, he looks about into the future and the past, and sees it all at once.
