[edit] "Markos, Texas"

I took that straight from the cited source, but suspect an error. I've never heard of such a place, and the only "hits" online seem to be from misspellings of San Marcos, Texas. - Jmabel | Talk 09:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not a ton online

I think I've combed through, brought together here, and cited, the best of what's online (though I'd be thrilled if there is more). If someone feels like doing library research, there should be quite a bit in books (including Gary Wyatt, Mythic Beings: Spirit Art of the Northwest Coast). Some things that would be nice to cite and include:

  1. His role in keeping the potlatch tradition alive.
  2. More on him as a carver, which, I believe, is his best-known work (and, if I'm wrong on that, I'd be interested in knowing what is more notable).
  3. The evolution of his "Wild Men of the Wood" theme into "Wild Men of the 'Hood" (and occasionally "Wild Women…" The latter series have incorporated pop cultural themes (he's done images of people like Michael Jackson and Courtney Love). If it weren't for Wikipedia's ban on original research I could easily document the latter, but I don't know where to find anyone writing about it.
