There is an old phrase we hear every so often that says “The More things change, the more they stay the same.”

The idea being that in a situation where there appears to be a drastic change many of the underlying fundamentals are still the same.

In days long past a warrior would tie his favorite war pony to the front of his lodge as a sign of his original worth both monetarily and as a symbol of his value as a warrior. In our current time the same thing occurs but the form is different. The intent and perception remains the same.

Again in many ways the culture and tradition is preserved just presented in a new way bringing truth to the old adage, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
