"The fish, sacred trout, was the most respected of all fish. The trout gave the Indian life in abundance and according to Ojibwa Indian mythology it represented his soul carrier. The trout carried the Indian soul through transmigration into an other existence in the supernatural or reincarnation. All this belief worked for the betterment of the Indian food in reality - faith in the supernatural."

BLOG MASTER'S COMMENT: Norval Morrisseau was known to use his fingers rather than the paint brushes alone to apply the paint on many artworks executed throughout his artistic career (click on the image above for a closer examination and pay attention to areas which were completed with use of finger(s) or click HERE for the proof of this statement - a "You Tube" video presentation showing Norval Morrisseau's use of his fingers while painting).
