"I’ve been looking for books all my life – books about American Indians. Anything that I could find that was civil and worthwhile besides what my Grandfather was telling me about the Iroquois and others. There isn’t very much written about Natives in the art and history books we read today. The only thing that was written was about the Iroquois slaughtering the Jesuits somewhere and Sitting Bull and his followers being chased out of Canada."

Norval really captured the stories and legends of his people. Its nice to see this site dedicate so much time to preserve his life and stories and art work. Good luck in the future and stay well.
