I live in West Virginia where a lot of our roads had to be cut out of mountains and there are signs all over the place that say "falling rock" to warn drivers that rocks sometimes slide off the sides of these mountains and hit cars. My grandpa told me told me Falling Rock was an Indian, so I believed that these signs meant an Indian reservation was nearby......There are no Indian reservations in WV that I know of......
A childhood belief about landscape
others believed things like this
- I used to look for an Indian along the roadside because of signs that stated
"watch for fallen rock"— pam petry - My dad told me when I was little that my belly button was "Where the Indian shot me"Anon
- I used to believe that the red dot on Indian people's foreheads meant that they had psychic powers.— Mark
- I used to think Indian women had scabs on their foreheads, but it was bindi!— Emily
- I thought that Indian Summer was like the weather in India.Anon
- I used to believe that those of Indian descent who had them were born with dots on their forehead.Anon
