This day in history


On the Frontier in an age or heroic acts and dasdidly deeds there was a tribe of Indians call the Hankas. Revered across lands for their legendary abilities with the spear on the hunting plains and battlefields, amazing
communication skills being evidenced in the innovations such as smoke signals and dixie cups, renound for their abilities to fashion the most luxurious weaves, creators of the softest of cloth or their natural ability for trade and remember all the words from the loveboat theme tune.

The much loved Chief of the tribe, Chief Running Bear, led his tribe to great prosperity for many years. Running Bear's wife, Running Water whose abilities with the needle were as legendary as Chief Running Bears with the spear was the creator of a cloth that was soft yet exorbant, masculine yet feminine and maliable yet strong. The cloth was the prized creations of the tribe apart from their complete collection of FronzieTM memorabila .

When the tribes beloved leader Running Bear passed away, his much celebrated son Running Nose became chief. Chief Running Nose was the best hunter, the greatest trader, had an ability to converse with other tribes without having any prior knowledge of their language and could do the robot better than anyone in the tribe. Running Nose was responsible for the first line of trades with 'the white devil' through the famously good hearted leader of the 7th Regiment Captain Lionel Cotter. Cotter fell in love with the cloth of the tribe and inturn this cloth was brought to the Europeans settlements with great success for tending wounds and infections due to the strength and absorbancy. Captain Cotter wanted to honour the Chief for this fabulous gift and decided to name the cloth after him. So it was forever known as the Hankachief for it's Running Nose.
