2007 Edition 9/88 This print is only available framed. Please contact the gallery directly. "Occupied was first a doodle for a thank-you card. I also couldn't pronounce the plural 'octopi'.

"All too often, Tlingit (and all Indigenous) narratives are disregarded as legends or myths, not taking into account the thousands of years spent discerning humanity. From those thousands of years spent observing, came to fruition chronicles that were implemented to help navigate generations forward. One of which was the history of Dukt’ootl’ (Blackskin), he is our ‘Strongman’, that is frequently remembered for tearing a seal lion in half; what is often forgotten is the strength he enacted by...
