Artist Reply: Thanks so much Minnie. I have always been fascinated with the bison and the tribute the Originals had when they were forced by hunger to harvest them. There were many prayers for the ascension of the soul of the bison and gratitude to the family of the harvested ones and to the Earth Mother. Not much like shopping is it. I loved the melancholy sentiment of how they cut from the herd on their own when the became a burden. A noble gesture for the good of the tribe. Very interesting behavior. Minnie, thanks so much for your encouragement and kind words. You are so very kind. My gratitude to you, Michael

Artist Reply: Thank you so much Debbie. You woke up some of these images. They have had no admirers for quite some time. Everyone dwells on the new works. My gratitude to you for your kindness and thanks for showing your child this work. Michael
