I did a series of works, including the banner I recently blogged about, which deal with the local legend of how our area landmark, Crow Peak, got it’s name. This is a block print, rendered from a painting that I especially love.

The rivalry between the Crow and Sioux tribes goes well back before the white man invaded the land.  The stories of these early battles are recorded on both Sioux and Crow winter counts and passed down narriatively.

Mankind has enemies that go way back in time.  Look at Egypt and Israel.  Back in the news: back rattling sabers, wary of one another’s intentions.  Look at virtually any country on this earth, and you will see another in it’s sites: unsure and uneasy.
