"Medicine Line" meaning in English

{
  "etymology_text": "First known attestation from 1880 where the term was described as being used \"because no matter what [the Indians] have done [committed crimes] upon one side they feel perfectly secure after having arrived upon the other\". A synonymous term which was attested earlier is medicine road from 1869 and ostensibly a calque of a Sioux term transcribed as \"pejuta canku\". Unrecorded use of the term or a similar one may date back more than a century earlier than the first attestation. See also medicine (“protective charm among the Native Americans”).",
