The Trail of Painted Ponies-Spirits of the NW

Trail of Painted Ponies "Spirits of the Northwest," 1E/7,640.

Animals are important to the Northwest Native cultures. Using bold colors and designs based on the Haida and Tlingit styles of art, Laurie Holman, who lives and teaches art in Alaska, presents us with various animal totems featured in traditional Alaska stories: the Raven, Grizzly Bear, Salmon, Eagle and Whale. "I wanted them to cover the entire Pony, like a puzzle, with all the pieces telling the great story of life, death and rebirth."
