"my art is strongly influenced by the traditional ways of my people. i was brought up to live off the land from an early age. hunting and trapping, living in harmony with the earth has taught me to respect the animals and the spirit and power of nature. unfortunately, isaac passed away in 1996 at the young age of 35, but his artwork still lives on in many private collections worldwide. his spirit will always be remembered by his close friends and fellow artists. he was devoted to native traditional ways which included his native art, singing, dancing, and drumming. he was able to teach others in these ways with his outgoing and friendly personality which everyone respected and he always had a smile for everyone. dimensions are 11"l x 5 1/4"h x4"w   « Less
