Many years ago, Turtle and Wolverine
were close friends. One day, Turtle took his friend to his home in the middle
of the lake and Wolverine almost drowned. Later, Wolverine taught his friend
how to climb a tree and Turtle almost broke his shell when he fell from down.
After that they learned to accept one another differences and they got along
well for many years.

emeralds.

My son, Edwin, holds a model totem
pole that was carved by my grandmother, Ellen Neel, about 60 years ago. It was
recently gifted to me by a very kind and generous lady from Illinois. A
heart-felt thank you to Ondine for her gracious spirit.

In the ancient Northwest Native stories,
the Sea Serpent (Sisiutl) is a mythical animal which, if captured, can bestow
supernatural powers. Its blood, when applied to skin, can make it as hard as
armor; its eyeballs can be used as sling-stones that are so powerful they can
bring down a whale; and looking at its head causes the viewer to become
paralyzed.
Sea Serpent ring, gold with a ruby.
