I commented in the cross-posted thread. That etymology is different than what I would have suspected, as you can see in my comment. I did not know about the "sky father" myth. I thought that "sky daddy" was just a contemporary anglicization of "Father God" or something like that.

I do like SKY DADDY, though. And there are so many things which resonate with or reference it: Alan Parsons's SIRIUS/Eye in the Sky (the Sirius/Dogon Cosmology and Orion mysteries themselves are extremely interesting Robert Temple and Robert Bauval), Philip K. Dick's book "Eye in the Sky" (PKD was a Gnostic mystic in his later years,) and of course the band which Alan Parsons really got his fame for producing, Pink Floyd, has the classic, timeless "The Great Gig in the Sky" which echoes this sentiment to some degree, but also alludes to a future event foreshadowed everywhere else in pop culture from David Bowie and his Ziggy Stardust cosmology to Bradley Nowell and Sublime's "Jailhouse" vision of a great concert "up there" with all of the masters of yore participating. (That is my interpretation of it, anyway.)


Some excerpts of the lyrics to Jailhouse:

>"hat has been told to the wise and up-rooted
>
>is gonna be revealed unto babes and sublime
>
>I know that I'm gonna be there yeah
>
>Bud Gaugh will be singing there
>
>And Eric Wilson will be bangin' up there, yea
>
>And we'll be all singin ... with version, with version,
>
>Reagge version

I should add that I have always had this notion myself of "A rose by any other name ..." with regard to the "creator" God. If this be a computer simulation, or something unlike anything we know, or if "aliens" create everything, whatever, however, a rose by any other name ... They are all the same to us. As Arthur C. Clarke says: "Any sufficiently advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic."

For Lakota, I found a few textbooks on Amazon. I heard this one is very good. It should come with an audio supplement. I actually have a copy of it, but I haven't really used it because I don't really have time to study it.

The issue is, though, that the textbooks do run a bit high ($30-40).

I think Ojibwe has a lot of textbooks and even free resources offered through the universities' course websites. I think you just have to find which universities offer Ojibwe and them find the course website. It helps that Ojibwe has a large speaker base, so resources are easy(-ish) to find.
