KillerBee; Good afternoon my cyber friend, I hope the week behaved in all ways for you and you're well.
While I'm surely onboard with you being free to use any term you choose for what we've become, I'm going on the premise - hopeful premise for sure - that it's still only in need of repair and restoration, so not completely ruined.
The medicine line was a prairie term that the FN folks used when they'd go back and forth on the imaginary line between Canada and the US and depending upon which side might be in pursuit, the NWMP and the US Cavalry would stop at that imaginary line. Thus it became "the medicine line" as it had strong medicine despite being something no one could actually see.
That's my understanding and by extension use of the term anyways sir.
