Note:
"These are my early carving made in British Columbia Soapstone I found while on a hunting trip and mined myself.
This B.C. soapstone is located at Kwoik Creek that runs into the Fraser River at Siska Indian Reserve where I lived in the middle nineties and created an art school using this local stone together with local Native N'kapmit Indians."
