    Ok…this is what I want to do…I wanted to start a foundation a few years ago but someone`s ego and greed got in the way…water under the bridge!

    With my new book “Transformation-When the Eagle Comes…”, I will re-paint “Transformation” (healing vision, I recieived) and make a limited edition (2,000 prints,$250.00 per print), it will also be the cover of my new book.

    From all the proceeds, I will donate all the profits to begin the foundation. And in time will ask my fellow artist (of all forms, all nations) to donate as well for it.

    I will ask a publishing company who is honest and trust worthy, to see the good in this project…

    The money will go to First Nation, non-status,metis families who normally could not efford to send thier children to recieve a good education, plus to our young people who are on the streets (broken families or no family at all).

    I am tired of politics, native and non-native, ego`s and greed…this is for the people! This will take time to organize, set up a board, etc for foundation, networks, elders are welcome, to over see…

    Families or students will decide where they want to go for a education. This has been a dream of mine for many years and I feel it is time to give back…for all the great people and experiances I have had over the years threw my art.

    I am not rich, money wise but far richer than anyone I know…But mostly to the elders and healers who loved me enough to allow me to heal and move on with my life…as our elders always say “our children are our future…”

    My art career has been good to me, more rewarding than I ever dreamt it would or could be!

    Thank you to everyone, museums, galleriers, buyers, collectors, friendships…This will need good hearted people, men and women who are committed and spiritually awake.

    If any one is interested in joining me on this project, feel free to contact me…

    The beauty of life is we can do what ever we really want…to do the right thing. And it happens when we all work together, showing only respect and love, compassion to each other at all times.

    Also to show and let our children know we care deeply for them, for thier futures, education, and to be allowed to  fulfill their dreams of a better life and to really take care of our mother, Mother Earth…
