Rolling Thunder aka John Pope, 1916–1997) was a hippie spiritual leader who self-identified as a Native American medicine man. He was raised in Oklahoma and later moved to Nevada. He has been considered an example of a plastic medicine man, with little or no genuine connection to the culture or religion he claimed to represent or study.
