"I was told by some relatives not to do this - that I should not be tampering with these forms, 'because the Indians will ostracize you'. Or the elders would not care for it, just like the Jesuits.
-
Nevertheless I was determined to do it, for it is my destiny..."

Thank God that Norval didn't listen to everyone that tried to stop him from painting. Think of the treasure we would have lost, or never had.
