one little story
In the beginning the Great Spirit
gave the birds and animals the wisdom and knowledge to talk with
man. Through the creatures of the earth, the Great Spirit taught
us many sacred songs and dances. They taught us many things.
Looking to the Eagle we remember
one lesson. The Eagle feather's are divided into two parts. One
part light and the other dark. This represents day and night,
summer and winter, peace and war, life and death.
Remember my children the Great
Spirit gives us many signs. Just look to the Eagle. |

While traveling through the beautiful land of Oklahoma.
I remember the stories and hardships the families went through.
Along the road I would see green pastures and horses grazing
along by the road, cattle standing so still upon a hillside.
It was like stepping out of a dream. I was there when all was
in bloom. But yet again, here I was traveling at the best time
of year and in the best conditions. Along the way I spotted a
old little white school house and wondered if that was the one
my Grandmother attended. Time seemed to drift forward and back
and I felt as if I were on my way home. |

Here we have Kuruk, who love
to play with the children and he is always telling stories, like
grandfathers do.
'No
More Tear's .
"Grandmother why do the
boys get to play with sticks and ride the ponies and ride off
with the men? They seem to be always playing games while we are
always working. "Those are not games my little one. They
are lessons. Playing with the sticks and riding the ponies teaches
them to hunt and fight. Someday they will be the ones to care
for this tribe. It will be up to them to make sure that there
is enough food to eat and that we are safe from harm.You and
all the young women of our tribe are most important to those
young braves. |
This is
'Kuruk'
mean Bear
Looking for a home |
This is one of the first Indian pieces I did when
I started workiing with SS polyner clay. It is a Indian Grandmother
with her grandchild. There they stand in the woods by a tree,
while Grandmother was wiping away the young girls tears.

When we gather sticks for the
fire, it keeps us warm and cooks our food. Someday I will teach
you how to make the pots that we use and how to weave a very
fine rug for your bed. Did you know that on every pot and every
rug we tell a story. Someday you will have a good husband and
many children. They will play at your feet and you will be very
happy. But look there my child, some of those boys you see there,
they may not have all those things. For their journey is hard
and dangerous, so lets hope they learn well. Let's just pray
to the Great Spirit to keep them safe. For we need 'No More Tears' |
No More Tears
this one is sold. |
