While she held him and rocked him, there came a tapping from the window. Looking that way, his mother and grandmother saw a bluejay turn and fly away from the window. Thus, writerfella became Thay-nay-tonh, Bluejay Tailfeathers...<BR/>All Best<BR/>Russ Bates<BR/>'writerfella'writerfellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208567003496430805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-1170635976472451682007-02-04T16:39:00.000-08:002007-02-04T16:39:00.000-08:00The article briefly indicated that Cadell is white, though it could've emphasized the point more. I doubt he'd suddenly claim to be an Indian.<BR/><BR/>Cadell did speak in unfortunate generalities and clichés about Indians. Oddly, he said the bear represents aggression and power, not love.

I wonder if he tries to sell his Waldo inspired art as authentic Indian art. All of his comments about Indians such as "The Native Americans were fascinated with eagles" or "They'd climb up and look into the nests, and a lot of them dreamed of flying and "American Indians didn't name their children until they could discern the boy's or girl's character" sounds like they were taken straight from a book or a bad Hollywood movie. <BR/>Unfortunately the general public just eats this kind of crap up. There's nothing one can do unless he violates the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, which it doesn't look like he's done "yet." <BR/><BR/><BR/>AnonymouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-1170580171115987562007-02-04T01:09:00.000-08:002007-02-04T01:09:00.000-08:00Writerfella here --<BR/> One wonders if the artist knows an Indian named Waldo?<BR/>All Best<BR/>Russ Bates<BR/>'writerfella'writerfellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208567003496430805noreply@blogger.com
