The little Swimming Beaver in this painting bears the Heart Symbol I use to show we are all related to one another, all of us are in this life together, here to help one another. This Painting has touched many hearts with the colors of life, and the peace of the water in which he swims. I can feel my Native Ancestors smiling whenever I look at this image. Native American and First Nation history was forever altered when this little creature became the victim of avarice and ambition. There is no end to the stories and feeling that come to mind when looking at this painting for very long.
