Besides the connection to his mother, never saw anything else
I happen to live in the region of NY state so this subject interests me in particular.
The tattoo looks tribal and presumably intended to invoke tribal quality.? It seems to be his only tattoo. I feel like if it was just about his mother then why a map of all the lakes. A couple things I keep looking are the legends of Wendigo and the story of Hiawatha
In central New York the winters can be brutal and starvation was always a threat and cannibalism was said to summon the spirit of the giants…. nephilim?
