Whew! Fabulous carvings, Tama.

Hey what ever happened with the pipestone?

Maybe Timidtiki already told you this: I heard it's called Catlinite after George Catlin who was famous for his Native American portraits. The quarry was on neutral ground, so even though there were rival tribe members coming from miles around, no fighting was allowed. That's quite a special piece of rock TT gave ya!
