People of Darkness (1980)

People of various Native American tribes often carry with them a small pouch, usually made of deer skin, which contains a few items that have totemic, spiritual, and ceremonial value. This bundle is believed to provide protection and healing, and is carried under the person’s clothes, either on a string around the neck or under the waist belt. It may contain small, natural objects such as special rocks, animal parts, or carved amulets, and usually also includes sacred pollen, which is commonly used in a variety of prayers and rituals. The Navajo word for medicine pouch is jish, which applies to both the small bag and its contents.

A rifle that shoots a 30-gauge, or calibre, bullet that was oiringally packed and fired with 30 grains of gun powder. In general, a .30-30 rifle is effective at killing mid-to large-sized game at mid-range shots. In other words, for folks who hunt for food, the .30-30 is an accessible tool for hunting game like deer and elk.

A firearm, usually a handgun, with the capacity to fire multiple times prior to reloading. A revolver has a revolving cylinder, usually with six chambers, each of which can be loaded with a single cartridge. As the firearm is fired, the cylinder advances, or rotates, bringing the next cartridge into position for firing.

Approximately 56.2 million acres of land within the United States are designated as Native American reservations, areas of land set aside for the perpetual use of indigenous groups, many of whom were forcefully relocated onto them. Sometimes reservations are sited on land traditionally used by the people before conquest and colonization. In other cases, Native American reservations are located away from their traditional lands as a result of 18th-, 19th-, and 20th century federally-supported practices that expropriated natural resources, throughfares, and lands under the premises that the land was "vacant," its resources were not being properly exploited, and because of racial biases that privileged European settlement patterns based on ownership rather than fluid and multiple landuse practices.

One of the clans of the Navajo people. There are at least sixty known Navajo clans, many of which are named after specific places located on or around what is today the Navajo Nation Reservation. The Red Forehead clan might be named not after a locality but after the red head of the Sandhill cranes that are commonly found along the rivers and marsh area of the American Southwest.

The Rio Grande is a large, meandering river that flows north to south from its headwaters in the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado through the center of New Mexico. This river serves as the southwestern border between the U.S. state of Texas and Mexico and eventually empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Rio Grande means “Big River” in Spanish and is alternatively known as Rio Grande del Norte meaning “Great River of the North.” South of the U.S./Mexico border the river is called the Rio Bravo.

A relatively old, major street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The street runs east-west through Albuquerque's old farming neighborhoods of the South Valley. It starts in the east at the intersection of Interstate 25, crosses the Rio Grande River, and officially ends at Coors Boulevard in the west, at which point its name changes to Dennis Chaves Boulevard, a road that continues further into the southwestern outskirts of the city, ending in the junction with Atrisco Vista Boulevard. The name Rio Bravo is the Mexican name for the Rio Grande River, which runs through the state of New Mexico, including the city of Albuquerque, and into the Gulf of Mexico. In Spanish, "grande" means big and "bravo" means brave or fierce.

In Latin, rigor means "stiffness" and mortis means "of death." The term refers to the hardening of muscles after death, which is caused by chemical changes that start immediately after death. This rigidity of the tissues sets in just 2-4 hours after death in humans (longer in other animals), peaks after about 24 hours, and then dissipates gradually until it disappears completely after anywhere between 1-6 days.

The basic structural equipment used in oil, natural gas, or water well drilling operations. Rigs are massive scaffolds used in a variety of procedures that require penetrating the surface of the Earth's crust. For example, rigs are used to drill holes and to install pipes, tunnels, or underground utilities. They are also used in studies and projects that require testing sub-surface soil, groundwater, and mineral deposits.

A rifle is a firearm with an extended barrel that is generally raised up to the shoulder for firing. The interior surface of the long barrel is carved with spiral grooves down its length. The length of the barrel, in combination with its interior grooves, improves the accuracy of the shot fired by increasing the stability of the projectile as it spins out of the barrel. The rifle, as opposed to another long-barreled firearm, the shotgun, fires a single projectile at a time.
