"These are the nature people, the everyday people that are outside just laying around, looking around, looking at you from wooden piles and from the tree trunks, and from everything in nature, and it's like this room here is the big pond. All of us are out there on this big pond and we're fishing, fishing for luck, fishing for everyday, just out there seeing what's there, testing out the water so to speak. So they're out there, each one has a different level they're fishing at. Each one has a different kind of bait. They all have different things that they lik eand disklike, but they're in this thing together. They have one fishing pole between them. One hook that comes down that's got three barbs, but like I say, they're fishing for different things. So they're just ou tthere fishing for different things, seeing what maybe they might catch. They're fishermen."

"On the west side of the Klamath River is what used to be a large village called Ishi Pishi in the Karuk Center of the World. Ishi Pishi means 'at the end of the trail.' Ishi Pishi Falls--people come and fish there. The white triangle is A-u-ich, the big mountain that looks like a big pyramid, right in the Center of the World, it's where the Klamath River runs into the Salmon. I call it an anchor that holds everything down. The River is blue and it runs past the mountain. On the other side of the river [bottom right of the artwork] is Kat-a-meen, which is like the capital, in the Karuk Center of the World."

"We have a mountain up there [on the Siskiyou County line where the Salmon River runs to the Klamath] that looks just like this...It loks like a big pyramid. Actually, it's moving. All the mountains are moving. You know, people tend to believe that everything is just 'that's the way it is,' just in my lifetime I've seen our country change so much. I've actually seen mountains go from here to here. That's what this is about--an earthquake... [This area] is what we call the center of the world. That's where I'm from."

"That means exactly what it says. You have to figh tfor what you believe in some time. You're not going to get nothing for free. There's other people out there and they have other ideas, other things. They'd just as soon run right over the top of you if they had to. So, even if your belief doesn't quite fit everybody else's mold, if this is what you believe, and it is real, and it is right, like I said, one person might be righ tand the rest of them wrong. That's happened many times. It takes one person to talk the rest of them into this is what is really right, so you have to be able to argue. You have to be able to convince, this is what's right. One day you might have to fight fo rit. So this guy is all decked out for his fight. He's got his bow and arrow and he's a warrior. He's a survivor."
