What did the Sioux Indians call the Great Spirit?
The Sioux religion is complex and recognises many different spirit-beings on many levels.
The term wakantanka refers to the embodiment of all supernatural beings and powers, so it is closest to the idea of the Christian God. The Sioux also considered The Sun, Sky, Earth and Rock as the highest-level powers; below these ranked Moon, Thunder-being, Wind and Falling Star.
Other supernatural powers include wazi (Old Man), wakanka (Old Woman), canoti (forest spirits), hohgica (spirits of the tipi), iktomi (spider), unkcegila (spirits of the land), unktehi (water spirits) and many more. Ite (face) is the most beautiful of supernatural women and considered to be married to tate (the Wind).

What were the effects of the French wars in religion?
he French Wars of Religion (1562-98) is the name of a period of civil infighting and military operations, primarily fought between French Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots). The conflict involved the factional disputes between the aristocratic houses of France, such as the House of Bourbon and House of Guise (Lorraine), and both sides received assistance from foreign sources.
The exact number of wars and their respective dates are the subject of continued debate by historians; some assert that the Edict of Nantes in 1598 concluded the wars, although a resurgence of rebellious activity following this leads some to believe the Peace of Alais in 1629 is the actual conclusion. However, the Massacre of Vassy in 1562 is agreed to begin the Wars of Religion and the Edict of Nantes at least ended this series of conflicts. During this time, complex diplomatic negotiations and agreements of peace were followed by renewed conflict and power struggles.
At the conclusion of the conflict in 1598, Huguenots were granted substantial rights and freedoms by the Edict of Nantes, though it did not end hostility towards them. The wars weakened the authority of the monarchy, already fragile under the rule of Francis II and then Charles IX, though it later reaffirmed its role under Henry IV.

What were hippies like in the 1960's?
Hippies in the 1960's wore mostly floral outfits. They liked wearing flare pants, round sherly glasses, tattoos of peace symbols, barefeet, long hair and instruments for the males and for the females they liked wearing micro mini skirts, flowers in their hair, sandels, black or coloured tights and no bra. They even had a bra burning ceremony!
They had a free nature about them. They liked smoking acid and marijuana (sorry if spelt wrong), they crowded around places like the corner or Haight and Ashbury street which soon after became called the Haight and Ashbury District and also became the main destination for junior grade hipster or 'hippies' for short.
