Man Puts Newborn Baby Inside Dead Animal

 

What... The... Heck is THIS?

If you haven't heard this week's In Case You Missed It Podcast (episode 6) this is the video that Chunk and I were debating!

We can't figure out what type of ritual or ceremony this is. But in case the visual will gross you out let me explain. Remember that scene in "Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back" where Han Solo picks up Luke Skywalker's lightsaber and slices open the belly of his dead tauntaun and stuffs Luke inside in order to warm him up and save his life?

What about in "The Revenant" where Leonardo DiCaprio's character cuts open his horse's stomach and crawls inside to grab some shut eye and avoid the snow?  Now you get the idea.

If anyone has ANY insite to this please let me know! As mentioned on this week's Podcast (click here to catch up on all the podcasts) I have a feeling this may be a Native American ritual and blessing but Chunk thinks it's more of a "Kentucky, dueling banjos" situation!
