Very cool
What an exciting find, in such good condition and so large! Precious find and great to give to Tom.
Yes, I agree.
Where was the artifact Rock Knocker found?
Pamela, the only person who needs that information is Tom Little Bear Nason, and I told him what I knew. Rock Knocker has Alszheimer’s, so who knows?
What a fabulous find and I’m sure Little Bear was profoundly moved.
He was quite grateful and honored our decision to turn it back to its rightful owners.
Love it!
That is amazing that it is in such perfect condition…hopefully, they it give a place of honor amongst other precious findings!
I am sure Little Bear will. He was respectful of the piece and the people who turned it over to him.
As a dirt eater I can tell you that item is leaverite and has great value to the natives since it was then and is now easier to carry food to the kitchen than it is to carry the kitchen to the food, mindful movement while harvesting on foot paths through food forests to shared kitchens is an important part of meaningful connection, many of the kitchens then and now open to beautiful views of nature for this reason, food is life and sharing is caring.
